I tried hard to escape.

I tried to spread my wings

I knew I was in there somewhere

But I wasn't’t able to see



My vision was obscure

And soon I got engulfed in the never-ending dark

It was suffocating and I drifted off

I dreamt of myself, a different me

Hard to recognize but definitely me



I seemed familiar yet not so known

I was happy, I was free

Radiant me hard to miss

I tried drinking as much joy as I could

But soon there was a storm

And my dream became dark.



I tried escaping again,

I tried to remove the darkness

I was caged and I was scared

And suddenly my dream broke

And it was dark again

I realized the darkness was because of me

I realized I wanted to escape from myself and be free



I realized this wasn't’t me

I remembered the 'Me' in my dreams

I knew the key to my escape

It was setting myself free
