Sassy Lou

Cannot Escape Oneself

No calmness of mind or inner calm

I\'m astounded by what I grasped

One more pull but it\'s not enough

I cannot escape oneself

A fevered mind just in time -

I was beginning to loosen up

Another pill too close the deal

I cannot escape oneself

I ponder better thoughts but it\'s not what I sought

I\'m no stranger to this

I meander to where I want to stay

I cannot escape oneself

My world is but a shadow at play of vast intrusions

I don\'t know if it\'s palable, what I see

I\'m playing with fire as the pattern renews

I cannot escape oneself

This is my reality left questioning my vitality

Somewhere I don\'t want to be

I know it\'s suboptimal -

I need to get myself back on track

I cannot escape oneself
