Escape Plan

okay let’s go away
so you say
oh so if, could this seem
where the heavens and the winds
led the currents astray
oh, you wouldn’t tell me
when it comes to it
so I embedded myself in dreams
kind and kindred souls encircled me
among the many of us
okay let’s go away
if we can find a way out
our feelings were our passageways
tender to tears
and our only means of escape
was ourselves
