Feeling like there is no escape, No time off

Vacation is a dream of foggy delusion

Escape to rest without worry isn’t even a fantasy

Worry without regret, not wanting guilt left over

Stress and concern in mounting denial

Waiting for the right time that will never come

The perfect moment for bad news

The perfect moment to fix everything

Not wanting to hurt, but wanting to love

Trapped between preventing and embracing

Loving passion waiting on the other side of disaster

Explosion of unrealized desires

Wanting to get there but not knowing the direction to take

Lost in the grind of daily living

Needing release that isn’t found in routine

But lack the time to deviate from life…

It’s as if we are all trapped on an island of rules and regulations.  Society following you wherever you go.  There is no safe haven, some people can manage to keep their homes just for themselves and their families, but many, many others are allowing society to infiltrate in there as well.  Going by what society says in order to raise their children even though it’s not what they want in some cases. 

So why is it that we can’t escape?  No matter which direction we turn or what road we go down, society is there waiting or quickly following on our footsteps.  I do think that having some rules is a good thing; however, it would be nice just to get away from time to time.  To be able to feel free and just be yourself without someone commenting or judging.  Even when you don’t care what someone thinks about you, it can still become obnoxious that they feel they have the right to judge you.

Greyness

Dull light penetrates the gloom

Clouds enclose on clarity

Overwhelmed you sit down

Looking around to see nothing

Nothing but a haze

Nothing but a blurr

You blink but can’t focus

You rub your eyes to no avail

Only seeing a foot in front

a foot behind, all directions…nothing

The colors have disappeared

everything blends into dull and faded

No way to escape the haze
