Escape Plan

Let’s forget who we are -

cast off these burdened husks

that we call our selves.

Let’s peel away our costumes

clinging tightly to our bodies

like some strange, second skin.

Let's dance out of these frigid shackles

clasped around us from years

of playing our parts.

Let’s leap headfirst with wanton disregard

for everything we’ve learned; into

who knows what, and who knows where

And tumble

falling and flailing, freely;

back into a simpler rhythm of life,

an existence lost to so many.
