If I could escape

if i could escape
i would i'd pack up
and go
to where i don't know
if i could escape
i'd try to be
the person i need to be
not hurting just focusing
if i could escape
i'd have the chance,
the chance to forget
about the stranger that sleeps in my house
if i could escape
i would not look back
and wish him well
nor think of his positives
if i could escape
i'd do my best,
my best to eventually get everyone else out
to let them have a little more air
if i could escape
maybe
maybe i would not cause more hurt than i already do
if i could escape
there would be maybe just one more ounce of happiness
one less tear shed
if i could escape
then and only then
will the noting of my every move be halted
if i could escape
what would become of the people i leave in harm
if i could escape
how could i be sure
everything
everything is ok
that everything won't get worse
how can i be sure
if i escape
i would be free of the man that causes pain
but i would be guilty of leaving the people i love
in his hands
if i could escape....would i?

What if?

What if someone told you that you were special....
that you were not like everyone else....
What if they said you were to do something very great in your life....
that you had a big purpose.....
What if they told you that you cant fit in with everyday people....
that you need to be yourself....
What if they told you that you had this great energy that could be felt from afar.....
that when they saw you that you were almost flying.....
that you could one day fly......
What if they said you stole the show in a crowded room....
that you glow, literally....
What if they told you that you were there to do good....
that you need to be on the balls of your feet at all times waiting....
waiting for opportunities to do good, help people out.....
What if this person somehow knew you your name......
that they just knew it .....not just your first but middle name....
What if they said that it just came to them.....
that they could feel your energy and they just knew you were special....
What if they said you were someone like them.....
that the two of you were alike.....
What if they said God created three different creatures...
that there were animals, humans, and people like 'us'.....
What if they said that we were to fight off evil.....
that you were there to do good....
What if they said that you would lose your 'talent' if you didn't follow the right path.....
that you wouldn't even remember this very conversation if somehow you messed up...
What if they told you that it was as if God gave a select few special talents....
that he gave them to us and is just watching to see what we do with them....
What if they told you that someone once said the same thing to them....
that they found out the same way as you were....
What if they told you that you were one of three of the "special ppl" that they have met...
that they were so happy to have ran in to you.....
What if they told you the very thing that you believed was your weakness....
and said it was a characteristic of all like you....
What if this happened to you....like it did to me....
What would you do?
