Escape

Caught in the way of my own insecurities
Comforted by the distractions that
Keep me still and slow to react

Longing for an escape from this reality
Dwelling in the insanity that
Keeps me close and plays the act

I've succumbed to the nihilist
Ever haunting my head
As dark encroaches from the mist
For an escape, I beg

I will bleed for my misdeeds

Turn around and stare into the abyss
Realize it has all finally gone amiss
Agonize in shame and take the risk

Save me from myself
The scars I hide
Fear kept inside

Every night I am still numbing the pain
Calmed by the medication that
Keeps me intoxicated by the past

Bleed me dry and left to die

When will this shadow release its hold?
This plague keeping me still and cold
Pray to return back to the light
As the hold becomes ever so tight

A strong reflection on the internal battles many individuals face with their own fears and doubts.

There is a darkness and intense emotion to you words. Very well done.
