I’m not the same person You trapped back there, Clawed my way out to Sanctuary and fresh air. I buried The stories Of the past In the patches of Grass That I once Walked. I see the evening Light, And the sight Reminds me of The world I’m abandoning. I’m walking to escape, I’m running but it feels like It’s too late. I’ll break through the Clouds again. I’ll Swallow the rain. I’ll pick up the pebbles I see along the Way, I won’t fall into that Pitfall That you placed. I’ll conquer the sun And moon. I’ll hold the Tectonic plates. I’ll run a hundred Marathons To get out of this Cage That you placed.
