Escape, retreat down the regretful halls,

Escape, enter into the realm of mystic,

Escape, me, I, self, want, desire,

Let go,

Free, myself of the bond,

Free, myself of the chain,

Free, myself of the memories,

Let go,

Drift, away from me thou foul dirty whispers,

Drift, away from me thou horrible tool of self doubt,

Drift, away from me thou disgusting guise of stoicism,

Let go,

It is okay,

Let go,

Let me hold you,

Let go,

Please, I beg of you,

Curled in the corner,

Hungry, tired, broken, submissive,

Looking up at the extended hand,

Allow me,

Shaking my head I huddle back over,

Defeated I can’t stand,

Feeling suddenly jerked upright,

Eyes glinting,

Seeing myself mirrored,

An old me,

One I forgot, or did he forget me.
