escape
Escape is the name of the game
Escape from your shadow
Escape the workweek
Escape the matrix and
leave the prescription dream
ablaze in your wake
Find peace, new sovereignty, new faith
No one seeks to simply be a boat and float
so we remain
drowning
searching the elusive surface for someone who believes
the same sad story that we conceived
in our week of clarity
so we sink
madly in love
with a mind of concrete
Because in all of us there hides a woman in heart shaped sunglasses
Living and dying to be simply understood
