The Escape.. Poem by Marcus Lomboy

When I hit a roadblock, you are my escape
Unlocking the ability I always hold innate
A procrastinator at heart but I'm changing
Light my own torch for my limelight's fading

You free the qualities I have but never show
Urging on my pace when my life's too slow
Recalling the story of the rabbit and the hare
Slow wins the race but I'm getting nowhere

Guiding me along the way through closed caption
Teaching me acute feelings like compassion
You're my not-so sudden burst of inspiration
Like an envelope encasing a grand invitation

Inspiring me to do things out of my reach
Extending my range and my forms of speech
Eloquently wording poetry to dedicate to you
Always. Because thinking of you is all I really do.
