Elizabeth Tyease Collins - Escape

Escape with a breath,
I am silenced.

The life so devine was not spiraling,
to feel high is a remarkable feeling,
but to be high and reach for the golden skies,
im completely torn by this dream.

Through the mirror it reflects a past of
broken pieces set aflame,
I'll scream through a personality unknown.

Escape with a breath,
the air suffocates me.

Lips quench the thirst of purity,
but none can touch something so imperfect,
but for what its worth i'll press my lips against it,
and my body is shredded.

Escape with a breath,
tattered and torn,
I am reborn,
with brand new eyes,
and a new mirror appears.
