No Escape

poem by: D'Vina Dietrich
Written on Aug 15, 2020

Trees dancing about.
Sky bright with hope.
Birds singing freely.
Air softly comforting. 
Wow it's beautiful. 
Finally some peace!
You made a fortunate escape.
Or so you thought!

Trees crash around you.
Birds dying, hitting the ground.
Air cutting your skin.
The sky, dark, menacing.

Oh no! Run again!

Where? 

NO ONE will rescue you.
It will always follow. 

Run forever?
Its RIGHT behind you!

Laughing at the chase! 

Enjoying your ever move

Waiting. 

Waiting for you to accept it.

It is part of YOU. 

Accept that you can't keep running. 

There is NO HAPPY PLACE. 

There is NO ESCAPE!
