The Escape

Written in an English Lesson

Cold fingers

Held the glass

Froze it

In place

(In time)

 

She looked away

From the mirror

(A memory she didn’t want)

Searching for the key

 

It hung above her

Glinting cruelly

Just out of reach

But she stretched up

On pointed toes

Longing to unlock the past

                                    (The future)

So that she might escape it

                                    (Escape it all)

 

She closed her eyes

Her fingers finally closing

Around the cool metal

 

But in her hand

The key became a blade

And toward her heart

It reached

Whispering

 

‘I am the escape.’
