My Escape

She is my escape.

When I’m with her,

I see what it’s like to be outside.


Living in a temporary prison,

She sets me free.

No drugs,

All I need is her beauty.


Her laugh takes me farther away from my cell,

Her smile tears down my prison walls,

Her eyes give me light in a dark dungeon.

She is the master key.


Every night I return to my cell,

But I should not be sad,

For tomorrow I am promised

Another day of freedom

With the girl who sets me free.
