Escape, I wish I could escape you.
Clawing at my heart, these feelings never seem to end.
Life felt so much easier, while I was blissfully ignorant
I’ll heal. I have too. I’ll overcome the pain and anguish you caused.
Power, that’s what you gave me with this Pain. Power to overcome the weakness, power to run away from you.
Surely, this isn’t it. Surely the Sun will come out to touch my face again.
Even if you buried me in darkness again.

I've been writing my whole life. Writing about realms to escape in, forbidden characters to fall in love with, and using writing as my muse and refuge. Recently, I've delved into the mind...mine and others. Happy Reading. Wishing you well.

*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.
