Escape
There's a place
I picture in my mind
Paint onto the walls
Of my subconscious
Somewhere to go
When it's too hard
When it doesn't make sense
A peaceful house
On the country-side
Near a stream
A beautiful place
Untouched
With the complexity
Of the world
People
Greed
Hatred
That thrive in the world
A place
Where I can be free
Just for a day
Before the sun sets
And darkness comes
To swallow what's left
To drag me
To face my demons
The darkest parts of me
To take over
No more peace
No more joy
Just a pit
Filled with pain
Gathered for weeks
Sorrow that's ripe
Anger that's plump
Fruit of dispear
Yet irresistible
Leaves you running through doors
Room to room
Place to place
Realm to realm
How do I get back
To peace
My house
That provided safety
Yet feels like a dream
Figment of the imagination
To numb the pain of my realization
No matter the effort
The sweat
Tears
Blood
I will always be alone
No one can take the dispear
The affliction
Anger
Built up
Within the essence of my being
Waiting for their victim
Only I survive
Only barely
There's a place
Built from the aftermath of my anger
Founded in the depth of my sorrow
Protected with the shield from my affliction
Untouched
By the darkness
Painted on the walls of my subconscious
To represent the declaration
That the most beautiful
Peaceful substances in life
Is born of darkness
And is indestructible
