Brief Escape
Between the world outside, and,
the world my eyelids can't hide,
refuge is found
Peace in the most minimal amount
Escape the prison of my mind
and the scary world outside
The tiny gap of bliss takes me away,
in a blink
Eyelashes rise
light of a dark world shines,
briefly I am blind
In a same brief second,
the weight of the world forces me to my knees
Overwhelmed, I hide behind the lids of my eyes
But, there's my mind
The pandora box sneaks open, and,
memories sure forgotten chokes my soul of life
Discomforting fear arises inside
Refuge is lost, just as quick as it was found
