Escape

You dig a hole in the ground

You keep digging deep down

So the echo won’t slip

because your goal is to scream

Scream loud

to ease the pain inside

 

The dirt on your hands

is the hurt, the pain

You’ve been carrying around

Somehow you kept holding on

now freedom is what you seek

 

Fading memories is your dream

But what happens after you scream?

 

You have been carrying this weight

on your feet

feeling the heat

Blood flowing through your veins

 

Love turned into hate & trust into fear

So after all are you really at PEACE?

 

Then…

The battle with your mind begins

Because digging is no longer your escape

Your own fear has captured you in a cage

 

So you write it down on paper

Not in pencil but in pen

Because there are no mistakes

That can be erased

What’s done is done

And your shame cannot be wiped away

 

Once again you fight in the flesh

all you want is peace

And a resting place

Yet you seek no one but yourself.

Have no fear for He is with you

Seek Jesus let him be your escape

The one who fulfills that empty SPACE!
