    Some That Escaped

    In the struggle to be a part of life;

    Mans dreams are cut from him, by societies knife.

    It's not a blade of steel and gold,

    It's the heart that beats blood cold.

    But even through the years of pain,

    There are the few that can exclaim,

    "I will escape!"



    As their life, goes on and on.

    They learn to live, for their song.

    While others take and never bring,

    The 'scaped play their tune and sing.

    And, when they turn and leave for home,

    Their song has not lost it's tone;

    For, they have escaped.



    And to the ones, that are themselves;

    Who take their thoughts, from the shelves,

    And spread them all, far and wide;

    To your hearts, you've never lied.

    You have escaped...

    One suggestion. The word "pain" is so overused by poor poets that I think you should do almost anything you can to avoid using that word. It's like giving away the ending on the first page of the book. Show the pain, don't tell me it's pain! Make me see it.

    To have great poets there must be great audiences too.
