Deep set emotional problems
Carved into you as a reminder
Of what you are and are not.
What you will become and
What you will never be

Reminders? Or a way to escape.
To escape what you are and are not
To escape what you will become and
What you will never be.

Escape? Or a way to forget (if only for a moment)
To forget what you are and are not
To forget what you will become and
What you will never be.

Can it really be the only form of release?
