SLAM!

I walk in order to escape
a house of tension and of fear;
my soul is bruised from verbal rape.
I love them, but I can’t stay there.

Hoping that no one will find me,
I walk in order to escape;
no destination, yet I flee
using the shadows as a cape.

Their arms and hearts so quickly gape
when I am ready to return.
I walk in order to escape,
not to provoke my mom’s concern.

The habit doesn’t end with youth.
Some say ‘she walks to stay in shape’;
they are blind to this simple truth--
I walk in order to escape.
