Escape

There are only so many sad songs,

I can cry to through the night,

Although people are there,

Something does not seem right,

My heart is sinking deeper,

Losing itself through each beat,

No one said the world would hurt this bad,

Maybe I can't take the heat,

Each laugh is sound,

To pretend that I am okay,

Each smile I make is empty,

Though I am trying to convince myself I am okay,

I cannot stand this feeling inside,

Never felt like this before,

The pain has never lasted this long,

I want an escape,

A distraction,

To take my mind off my tears,

Needing a permanent weekend,

To escape the reality of life,

I want to run away,

To my paradise.
