Anywhere but Here

Lost in Plain Sight

I stare into the repetitive tiles

The lines blur

The focus falls

And sound fades away

When you won’t see me soon

Your eyes darting away

From a glazed out look

You won’t come near me

The fear that I am gone

Is too strong

I am safely tucked away

Behind a fantasy wall

I am untouchable

No one would dare disrupt

Mental Health

About the Creator

Lisa Pulliam

I love making fun of my emotions, feelings, and thoughts in short form writing such as songs and illustrations. I would like to write longer and more explorative pieces for others to read.
