And Thus Begins the Great Escape

When she  first discovered the last fictitious and missing piece, that absent link that could create

That would fit so very perfectly between her fastidious reality and her dream filled escape

 

That piece was what filled her with the alluring thoughts of setting the diamond edged blades aside

To let her bloodied and gore encrusted wrist's lay. To finally heal her disfigured and cleaved thighs

 

To set aside the insomniac coloured nights, filled with a nervous tick called suffering and misery

Bringing dread filled terror for next days coming, day and night it creeps into her lightless sanity

 

It graced her with the forgotten hope, that daisy chains and blades of grass would keep her honest

Hope she had long abandoned as she hid within the scarred tissue upon her mangled conscience

 

Telling her that she was now allowed to forget her aphotic and distressing amorphous past

It was filled with many an onus and distrusts that she choked on; from lack of air, her brain begins to crack

 

Her Mother and her Father thought she was a "lacking" kind child, those that required little needs

It reminded her that she would never again have to repress and crunch down those memories

 

They rise inside her throat, until she regurgitates them along with what little food she would eat

She sits in her room most nights, crying softly alone and wishing to be as thin as the models on TV

 

That last puzzle piece was supplying her with a vociferous need to put the bottle of pills down,

  Many had slipped their way down her esophagus, from diet to Analgesic's, they ranged wide

 

They were locked away in her father's medicine cabinet, so of course she was always punctilious

Puts an aspirin in place for the ones she stole, so her parents (Would they care?) were left oblivious

 

She tried to push that last piece in, shoving it somewhere between a wrong scene of the puzzle

So the piece was soon to be lost, destroyed within the struggle to find the perfect place

 

As she was losing to and was within her blithering mind, wild and frightened, filled with dismay

She then reverts to the false reality, in which she called her final escape.

 

The last daring and startling move, the check mate, the final set stage of the play

Where dreams become the reality, and reality becomes the dream
