Her flight was canceled.  Again. This would make the fifth time in as many hours. Determined to remain cool, she set her sights on the departure boards. Maybe she could get another flight out of this God forsaken town. At this point she didn’t care where she went, only that they wouldn’t be able to find her.

She witnessed a scuffle near the ticket counter, policemen were questioning the clerk, who seemed rattled. They knew. Without hesitation, she grabbed her carry-on, leaving the other bags behind.

Calmly walking out the doors, and signaling the closest cabby, she made her escape.

In the street

Dancing with rhythm

Twas her chance

For freedom

Letting each movement carry

Escaping farther

She didn’t want to do it, but had no other choice

He took away her soul, he’d never claim her voice

So many wasted hours, spent in strife, discord

Too many days of bitterness, falling on her sword

Knew the time had come, to get out, make a new start

And as the final door closed, so did her broken heart

It’s not in my disposition, to skimp when writing a verse

I’d rather think others find my work more distinguished

Although, if they find it awful that would be much worse

I’d have to escape to London, to study the Queen’s English

Deep within the mountains
On a planet, away, but not far
There lives a different people
Who watch the yonder star

And pray it hears them calling
So they may leave this place
To find themselves a better world
Much warmer, than outer space

Here, they live in drifts of snow
Piled high and out of reach
No chance for them, to escape
These walls they cannot breach

Still they can’t help but wonder
As each day, the light grows dim
How they might venture out
But things look mighty grim

No one hears them, as they shout
Most refuse to believe it’s not fiction
And so they remain, forlorn, forgotten
Humans, once, an Earthly depiction
