Escape

Trapped in a box
Pushing on all sides ineffectually
Cardboard or steel makes no difference
Claustrophobia setting in

Running endlessly in a jungle called life
Legs feel like lead
Nowhere to go, no one to lead
No finish line in sight

Darkness sets in, light suffocates
Precious little happiness to be found
Anger, loneliness, frustration become prevalent emotions
Pain always around the corner

I want to run with a purpose
Feel the wind dry the tears on my face
I want to get out of the abyss
See the light after a seeming eternity of shadows

I want to breathe freely
Without worrying about the consequences
I want to fly unconditionally
Delight in the freedom offered

I want to be with You for all eternity
You brought salvation from all prisons
You made me soar from troubles
You alone offered the escape from entrapment
