I try to escape

I put myself in a different realm

Far from the criticizing eyes of those

Who wish for my downfall

To see my head drop and watch me bow to all

I refuse. I run from their villains who corrupt the body. Ravaging your very core

I run and run till my hearts sore

I love me too much. I take the waters and wash, scrub, clean

I want to be pristine

Waiting for the one to make it all clear

Waiting for them to erase my fear

To show me that hope lives

But its killed... I feel tired

So tired.. I sit.. Days fog over I remember nothing.. Peoples faces blur in the crowd.. I awake 3 months
later to the sound of the worst words possible
I break, my soul tears..

My worst fears

They are confirmed... I scream how

I live in the wilderness but I wash with the water of life

Why am I stricken with this strife

I cry... I'm broken, no longer whole

Tainted goods.. Who wants me anymore?

No longer do I..

Why? The only question on my mind..

Can I escape,they say from what the disease has perished...

But I still feel tarnished

I can't forget the words over and over

I run.. I scream.. I cry..

But escape is futile

It has already taken a piece

But left me with no peace
