Poetry: Escaping the trap

by Ava St. Clair

Created on: November 24, 2008

Self-Preservation

You have made a bad decision

Now your choice requires revision

It is time to make a drastic change

And your life to re-arrange

Will you make a radical break

Or stay trapped in this dire mistake

Your must recognize your soul's at stake

Take control now of your own fate

Get your head out of this whirl

Of lies and deceit; a vortex swirl

That twists your thoughts and self-respect

Take a detour from this train wreck

You deserve a fulfilling life

Devoid of chaos, tears and strife

The pain you feel will be life's reality

If you don't protect your soul's fragility

Dig up the deeply planted roots of self-doubt

Accept what this relationship is all about

It's heart breaking to realize you've been deceived

It is your dignity that you must retrieve

Take a breath and hear your inner voice

That beckons you to make a wiser choice

Honor yourself by breaking free

Reclaim the person that you used to be
