Great escape

Footsteps trample.
Everything left behind.
Smoke fills the air.
Aching coughs surround,
all with one goal to achive.
"Must Escape"!
The future disappears
Smoke gets thick
Aching coughs subside
footsteps seem steady

I crawl.
I grasp to my future.
For it is all I see.
For it is all have
Must not look back
Cant look back
I feel myself disappear

It is then that sparks the light,
I must continue!
More for me to see\
more for me to do
I grasp harder
For it's my destiny

The smoke is distant
the only foosteps are mine
They drag.
I reach my goal
Heavy breathing echoes through the air surrounding me
I am here.
It is my future

My future only.

Author notes

this poem has alot of meaning, but to me, its escaping the past ( the smoke represents all the confusion and negativity, footsteps are all the people we carry past and present who arent suppose to be w/ us and thefuture is the main goal. we want to get to our future because its more clear and better for us to grow.
