Enchanted (A Collection of Poetry)

escape

my head is filled

with so much thoughts

i can't even write a single word

everything in my head is so confusing

the words i write, i don't know

what's the meaning

spellings are misspelled

topics are not taken

the universe has conspired against me

words won't rhyme, it's a catastrophe

everything seems so noisy

i can't focus, i'm stressed

i want to escape

forget all my worries and my thoughts and all the acts

where i think of no one and nothing

forget deadlines and people who are fake

with no problems to think and no heartbreaks

where every act of someone means

being fair and good

i want to abscond with myself

but being alone can be sad

so i also hope there would be someone

who listens and understands

comforts and encourages

i want to break free

to a tranquil and serene paradise

where the grass is evergreen

trees tremendous and beautiful

rivers and falls, oh so peaceful

i want freedom

freedom to choose and do what i like

freedom to share without judgment

the freedom of not being controlled

the freedom of making mistakes because i'm not perfect

that it's okay to have fears

as long as it doesn't surpass you

i want to feel the world

step my bare foot on the grass

roll and run over hills and mountains

swim and explore what's under

i have never watched the sunrise or sunset

i have never laid down and watched the night sky

i want to escape from the hurtful reality

i want a total silence from the ever-complicated world

away from pollution and mad people

away from great expectations

i promised myself that i wouldn't cry

but why do tears keep on falling while i write?

i want to get away

but even trying seems to fail

i want to be still and happy

show genuine smiles and laughter

i want to find myself

i don't want to regret choosing the wrong path

help me, i'm so confused and gloomy

i keep my blank stares at places

ignoring everyone's faces

one single touch and i'll breakdown

cause i've kept all the emotions
inside my heart

mot letting even a single one out

please give me time and space to relax

i hope i'd be given just one day

where i can cry to my heart's content

and shout my feelings from high above

where no one can hear

i want relief from stress, pressure, and just rest

chocolate, ice cream, and sweets are not enough

even when i sleep, i wake up and remember all of my tasks

sometimes i feel like i want to die to forget all the troubles

i'm so close to bursting that bubble

this is a chapter of my life

a conflict that must be solved

but i can't help thinking about

escape, freedom, and getting away

maybe just for a day?
