Escape

Fear

By Joy ErgangPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

I didn’t anticipate to be living in so much fear.

Being abandoned by those who I thought I could trust.

No longer belong or feel safe in my own body.

An ever expanding void that just can’t be filled.

Wanting to escape, yet forever confined to limits that are not my own.

Constantly suffocated and poisoned of how I should think and feel.

Blood curdling screams rising to the surface, yet have no way out.

Searching for my voice, though fearing no one will listen when I speak.

I lost more than people think.

Death accompanies me daily in this world of uncertainty.

I’ve created my own disaster that nobody wants me to escape from.
