Gettin� Away

Gettin� Away

A Chapter by Kerry Cochran

 

Gettin’ Away
 
I live and prey on my thoughts and abilities to survive.
But it comes around when I cannot get away.
 
My past haunts me bad and good,
My subconscious thoughts inhibit me from Gettin’ away.
 
I don’t know what my future holds but I hope to see another day,
 There’s no escape from what is within.
The dark soon becomes light and suddenly’ everyone can see
There’s no Gettin’ away.
 
My will and head are strong,
My feelings are sensitive yet still vulnerable and hard to display
Only because there’s no Gettin’ away.
 
We crawl, and talk, take baby steps, then walk.
We learn to run, but it doesn’t matter
There’s no Gettin’ away.
 
You can run and hide from many but not from yourself,
Or God above; you feel pain, hunger, sorrow
And you pray, but still
There’s no Gettin’ away.
 
You pray over your food before you eat, you pray before you sleep,
You’re thankful for what you have yet,
There’s no Gettin’ away.
 
Man is inherently evil; we are born that way so remember,
There’s no Gettin’ away.
