I Can’t Escape Myself

Artwork by Ritu Kamath

In all the thoughts that plague my mind
The corpses of dreams I’ve left behind

The worlds, the countries, the continents
I’ve run away to to begin again

To begin without you
To have a means to an end

To find myself, to forget my sins
But memories aren’t forgiving…

And no matter where I go to lose myself
It’s still just you I find within.

Poem by Afroze AshiqAli Khan
