Escape

The oasis 
I sought 
Out of thirst, 
Has dried up. 
The mirage
I overlooked
Must have been
A river.

The shelter
I longed all along,
Has been
Abandoned.
The ruins, 
I've been avoiding 
Must have been
A house I belonged. 

To get rid of
My ill fate,
I ran away from
Myself.

In a far-fetched 
Place where
No-one could be
Seen. 
I met anyone 
To everyone, 
To realize.

The toxic person
I was trying to 
Escape was hiding 
Within me.
