No Escape


How do you let go of a dream you never thought 
would die
Can you live through the pain of knowing it was all 
just a lie
Pain seems to be a constant in life

Yet, I work every day to make myself believe I am so 
much stronger
I look around at all of this sadness and wonder
How can I face this for even a moment longer

In the middle of the summer I'm wrapped in my 
blankets, trying to get through the chills
I hide away from anyone and everyone.
Let them believe what they will

I feel like there's a weight attached to my leg, dragging
me down further and further
Please stop! I beg as my life becomes a blur

Sometimes I wonder why I continue to put my life out there
I wish I could accept the negativity without a care

It's clear to me now that I continue to let the past repeat

Wouldn't it be amazing to finally overcome such a debilitating defeat

  1. It's lovely Beka. Just like everything you write. What a blessing to have you on our team! And how very brave of you btw, to put yourself out there in such a raw way. I write constantly but don't have the nerve to make it available for public consumption. Plus I haven't really figured out that blasted WP site and how to properly set up a blog so for now I keep it set to private and blog to... Myself! Lol 👍 U inspire me tho to work harder at figuring that out. It's hard to be an advocate when you're whispering... Thank you for sharing. 💗

  3. Thank you, Kate. I'm so glad you liked it. This blog is on blogger.com, I find it much easier to use than Wordpress. Maybe sometime you can send me a sample of your writing. Take care!
