Sometimes it's nice
I get a break from those
bullies trying to break my spirits.
I find relief hiding in books
and those three-minute safe spots called songs.
I get to remember why I tried
to escape once upon a time
but sometimes I'm called out for every flaw by
the yelling of insults in my head
I never escape, no matter how fast I fly
i get dragged back
But I will try to defend
when the darkness surrounds
and hold on to the sometimes, not always
