My Way Out Poem by La'Chelle Yount

Doubting myself for everything I'm worth
Wishing to be nothing more than to be what you want
Fooling my heart about this
Freeing myself with dreams of you
Daring to touch, kiss, feel you once more
The lasting feeling you give me begins to fade
Only to be resurrected by my thoughts inside
Wanting to be everything you will ever need
Knowing it will never happen...to my kind
Dealing with this seems easy enough
Turning away from everything I know to be true
The only way out is sleep, yes even then
I reach out with everything I am, rescue me
Realizing this, what an extraordinary find
Finally my way out!
