Breaking Free

To escape the reality, as they say

Is nothing but a coward's way

To cope up with life

that paced away way too fast

So that's how he chose to end his strife -

To run away into a wilderness of oblivion

The voices in his head finally giving in

Contrary to the brain, that races faster than it ever did;

Overbearing thoughts of unknown happenings immediately flood in.


Now that no shackels bind his actions

He lets his guard down within fractions

A smile plasters across his face

"I m free" said those eyes in replace.

The wrinkles relax ,both on his forehead and time

Worn out by invariably saying "I am fine"

Imagination now takes an upper hand

Thoughts clamber as if written on sand.

But no, they dont bury him,they help him stand

For to escape is all that he knows when its rough

And that's how he finds his solace, if that's enough.

Voluntary thoughts take over the coerced ones

Even so it's brief, to slip away sure is fun.


To escape the reality, as they say

Is nothing but a coward's way

But it takes as much courage to hold on

To thoughts in perpetual conflict with reality

Aware that they will never make it in actuality

Optimism, well i think is the word,

Its implication draped

For what he looks for is to be heard

When he tries to escape.
