Escape

What is it that make me rush

Escape to the other side

Towards

God TV or drugs

Run away from this aware flesh

A rush of chemicals

Or a conscious will

A conflict within

The sensations that push us

against our reasons

The enemy is strong

My armor is torn

I turn against myself

A part of me must lose

I should move

Or sit under a tree

The end game is bleak

Routine is mundane

A series of distractions

Finding abode in anything is an escape

Simple change of shades

The tingling within remains

The emptiness just doesn’t go away.

nothing seems to fill that gap

I yearn for something beyond

disregarding what’s my own
