Ally: Attempting to escape 

Hello warriors! 

I am Aly and I wanted to share this poem that I wrote about an everyday struggle. It is called "Attempting to escape".

Being back again in this familiar place 

I am falling down in shame and disgrace.

Saving myself from this deadly disease

Is all I can do to make me feel at ease.

The door behind me closes with a clack;

I can easily see there is no way back.

I am staring at the ceiling in the middle of the night

From a creak in the wall I can sense and see the light.

The light is faint and so is my head 

Twisting and spinning till I fall dead.

Nothing can stop me to achieve my goal

God please have mercy on my poor soul.

My heart beats too fast wanting to break free

This ribcage keeping it captive like branches on a tree.

My vision is getting blurry I can't see a thing

I try to lift my head and stars start dancing.

Soon enough it will all be over 

Unless I decide by myself to recover.

Ally xx
