An Old Poem

Sorry it's been a while but I've been...lazy. haha I recently got into some old stuff and I found a story I started to write but never finished and a not so bad poem I wrote from high school. I titled it "Trying to Escape":

TRYING TO ESCAPE (11-6-03)

I'm looking left and right,

And my mind is full of fright.

I'm trying to escape my fears,

And stop myself from tears.

I keep on running hoping that I'll win,

So I can be better than I've been.

This feeling inside seems to grow,

It's grown so much that now I run slow.

Reality's catching up with me now,

I want to escape but I don't know how.

Escape is no longer a choice,

I scream but no one hears my voice.

Reality's here and I don't know what to do,

Except to think that it's all because of you.

:Again it's not gold. This was back when every poem I wrote had to rhyme. But I do think that considering the circumstances that this poem is not bad at all.
