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
