An Escape (An ABECEDARIAN poem)

All started with the boy seeing

Buildings, no trees, noise, no meaning.

“Cuz’ this is the way to be.”

Dad said to he.

Explaining why, but all he knew wasn’t clear.

“For what?” The boy wonders, in bed he lays.

“Good night,” every night his parents say.

Hoping one day

It will come

Just this once.

Kings and Queens have set the scene.

Losing hope, all he did was dream.

Making up for waking up.

Now, at once, or it’s too late.

Open up, it’s been so long

Play for us, a song.

Quit your worries, stress and fears.

Reel in the feeling that’s so near.

Shine on you diamond!

The sky is your limit!

Underneath your skin

Violently lit.

When you wake.

X be your name

Yelled the sandman.

Zero is left, it all ends.
