Get Out (While You Still Can) - Free Verse Poetry from 2005

Came across an old "EP" of mine that I never got around to actually doing anything with. While I never got around to actually making these lyrics into something, I figure they make decent free verse poetry. Like some others I've been finally posting, "Get Out (While You Still Can)" is adapted from drafted lyrics that have not yet been put to song. This one is from 2005.

get out of here
while you still can
no reason to make
yet another stand
overcome the fear
that has so long
trapped you
paralyzed in here

things aren't as
hopeless as they
once appear
there is truth
behind the lies
and deceit unclear
but you gotta get
a little further away
before you can make
sense of the difference
between night and day
both seem the same
when you're alone

get out of here
while you still can
no reason to comply
to popular demand
break out and free
yourself from the sty
open your eyes
stare at the sky
find it within yourself
to do what you never
thought you'd try

get out of here
while you still can
