Title: Escape from Myself, But Where, How?

. Tangled in my thoughts,

like in a web of threads

that entwine on every side,

I hold them, though I don't know why.

I want to run, but my legs are heavy,

anchored in something

that doesn't let me move..

Sometimes it seems

I'm holding these ropes myself,

squeezing them tight, fearing what will happen

when I let go..

Tangled in myself,

in words sown in a field of silence,

in looks I don't understand,

I wonder: should I stay or run?

I don't know.

Maybe I can no longer tell

whether this is a prison or an asylum.

Maybe I don't want to run,

maybe I'm just afraid to leave.
