Seven Of Them

Summary:

Escapril 2023 day 27: Escape artist

Everyone is running from something, whether it be enemies or their past.

Notes:

I am happy today because the weather is finally feeling like spring weather instead of the October/November weather it has been for the past few days. Anyway, here you are, still not exactly Tolya level poetry yet but closer than how I was in the beginning of this month. Enjoy!

Work Text:

Escape artist 1

Also known as the Wraith

She gets in and out unknown

All while maintaining her faith

No matter what situation she’s in

She can get out

Even if that situation is working

In a place she doesn’t want to

 

Escape artist 2

Notorious on the streets

Can get him and his crew

To win, without defeat

With the help of the Wraith

He escapes from any tight spot

Whether that be physically or not

But he also escaped

From something even worse

Escaped from the waters

That dragged him down

 

Escape artists 3 and 4

Together they are more

Than they ever could be apart

Both escaped their homes

Their sinking ship

Escaped the laws, the war

That forbid them from being together

They escaped to a place

Where they were just two people in love

And not enemies on two sides of their base

Escaped their duties

For something of their own

 

Escape artists 5

How he’s stayed alive

Is a wonder

All of his blunders

Getting the attention

Of nasty people

Yet he manages to escape

His past and his fate

At the hands of those he wronged

With his mistakes

His addiction

 

Escape artist 6

Running from his past

As all the Crows seem to do

So he fits in perfectly too

 

Escape artist 7

In another country

King of a castle

And yet still needs to escape

A master of it by now

Trapped in a golden cage

Finds the best ways

To excuse himself

He needs to do work

But he needs the occasional break

Lest he go insane

Escape the eyes of the public

Who depend in him so

Escape the eyes of their enemies

He doesn’t want to end up dead you know

That’s why he left

For the life on the seas

That was his escape

And even there he had to escape

From people after him

But not him as prince or king

As someone else, someone more like him

 

Al of them

Masters of escapes

Running from different things

Using different ways

All of them escaping nonetheless

Now it’s your turn, who was who

Go ahead and guess
