I want to escape

I want to escape

From the darkness within me.

From the righteousness that binds me.

I want to be free of this

I want to let go of everything—

Heavy burden that I carry.

These emotions, this guilt,

I long for a day when

This need for being the hero.

I no longer have to fear

I want to rise and be

Myself.

Myself.
