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. Sometimes writing opens up the soul to healing, learning, and eventually to living again
