you make your twists and turns,
indecisive which route to take.
i pound the windshields,
hands in fists, thumming.
you hiss a profane,
steering a sharp turn.
i choke down a gag,
eye bulging,
tears a stream.
you peer my way,
hot breath hitting my skin,
droplets of spit splashing onto me.
i turn away reaching for the door,
the poison violating my skin,
acidity burning me alive.
you don't let me go,
digging your nails into my epidermis,
it goes deeper, popping a vein.
i scream with all my might,
blood begins to pour.
you yank me back in place,
prohibiting my escape.
i stay silent,
adrenaline pumping,
heart thumping,
brain throbbing.
you release me,
scowl neatly placed on your face,
dark brows furrowed, narrowly.
i take the chance,
slamming my feet on the dirt,
breath heaving,
i run, run, run.
you shout yet another insult,
dare i not say,
for freedom, i come.

take the chance when you get it, plan your escape.
