Escape

—————
I need to escape,
before they find me.
And I’m sentenced to hard time,
With no desert, or TV.

They weren’t in the closet,
Or under the bed.
I knew I should have checked,
The attic instead.

I was told I would fail,
And not even to try.
If caught, I’d lose everything,
In the blink of an eye.

But I just couldn’t help it,
I had to see.
What Christmas presents,
Were waiting for me.
