When you feel forever LOST impossibly gone. You won't be FOUND Its not that simple Just look to the stars, WISH believe it will come true To simply hope is PROFOUND silly to even think it. If you run, you're a coward; although to stay is to die. You must find your own escape... How easy, if only you could fly. Running gets you nowhere when you're locked in this maze. Somethimes thoughts hit you hard; knock you out for a minute, maybe days. Determined, you keep looking... assuming this soon will end. Yet these prison bars just won't break, they don't even bother to bend! Just lie on your back RELAX forget all else. Stare into the beyond, the EMPTINESS, the abyss. Make your wish, make it COUNT don't blow it now, just think. In order to get out, get away, ESCAPE you can't afford to faulter, to miss.
