Escape

i just want to escape
slip out of my own skin
float up into the sky
reincarnate as someone
someone who was never broken
someone who is happy
smiling unabashedly
enjoying the joy inside
with no ancient chains
holding down that feeling
tying them to a fractured core
corrupted with other’s actions
blamed for other’s mistakes
mistakes that are not repented
mistakes made, shamelessly
like an animal ripping apart a child, he feels no remorse
only sees the end of his hunt
knowing that the prey cannot run forever
that they will tire and fall
and the feast will begin
i want to become somebody
who looks at those words
and does not hear screams
who reads this poem
and is ignorant to it’s plea
i want to be a fool
i want that ignorant bliss
i want a different body and mind
i want to leave myself behind
and to appease that urge
i imagine i have escaped myself
the confines of my being
and that i have been swapped with an unknowing fool
and that i am now that fool
and that my true good self is gone
and i must bear their burden for myself
as another
alone

  1. yes, I know this feeling…in my case, however, the fool in me takes over every now and then. a good expression of yearning
