Escape Artist



The stillness surrounds her
It's all familiar as her eyes open 
bringing life to her mind
Her heart hearing the words before they escape his lips..
everything has changed everything remains the same..
all of life's moments filtering through her as she hungrily laps it up 
absorbing every drop 
Ravenous for change 
Clinging to hope 
Believing every moment has its' reason and each step a purpose.. 
the very precipice she teeters at determining whether she flees or stays.. 
Desperate to settle 
anxious for her heart to breathe 
She simply chooses to believe
As if it will all fall into place 
Knowing the highest cliff she could jump from
Is trust 
there's no reason to run anymore 
leaving behind the chains that strangled her heart 
and the handcuffs that bound her tight 
the ropes slip off her feet  
and the old becomes new 
She is confined no more..
