Escaping Love

Escaping Love

A Poem by Raven Dodson
"

Just my thoughts kinda like slam poetry

"
Living day to day
Slowly burning into decay 
It is coming up to the month of may
No matter what I do love escapes my hand washed up at bay
Even the closest friendships turn to dust and never stay
It may seem to be o.k. but sooner or later it is not enough anyway 
Love always turns to being hurt like a vanishing rey 
What is there to it? 
Fragile and broken 
But yet strong and put together 
Can this come to be 
That there is a plan in my life maybe 
Why so young but yet so old? Do you agree? 
No matter what I do 
My nearest and dearest always fall through the cracks 
Turning their backs to me 
Your just another nobody 
It is when I show my natural self when I get hurt the worst 
I am tired of showing myself to others 
Putting the mask on but tired of it 
It comes back and haunts you
Your own words are used against you 
No one likes you 
Why do I ever believe I will get the happiness I want 
I feel like I have just stepped on a thousands tacks 
Is there a key to opening this door so I do not have to hide anymore
Leaving is the only thing on my mind 
But yet I know that it is a not a rational decision 
Keep smiling, being a robot, and acting like everything is o.k. 
Putting on that mask because everything will then be perfect 
It is not as easy as A,B,C but is may seem that way
