Escaping Life

I'm walking around
To try and escape
The crushing pressures of my life
I notice my friend watching me
She looks at me
Her face full of worry, and concern
I keep walking
And in response to her look
A silent tear runs down my cheek
I stop walking
She comes over
Looks at me with a sorrowful look on her face
Then gently embraces me
She feels my rapid breathing against her body
In an attempt to calm me down, she gently rubs my back
My breathing slows down
I feel safe and loved
I don't want this embrace to end
Because when it ends my life returns
Full of
Hate
Fear
Pain
And cruelty

Less Than I Ought
