escape

i am dancing, and if i ever stop i will spend every night out against a wall wishing and i am singing but when I'm done I'll start crying I'll birth a new life for myself

a life where I realized my worth before i could be told that i have none, and i don't feel burdened by this trauma, where i always seem to know what to say, and nobody cares that I'm gay, and I can breathe in a room filled with noise

i'm poised to fail, i see it approaching i will burn out and nobody seems to understand there's no way out i don't have another ambition to take

i'm wishing for escape
