Marks Of Reason's Survival

Missing image

I counted the days when I could break free,

each mark one day of living in your jail.

My mind had become surrounded

by such a fragile shell,

any tenuous crack would snap all sanity.

 

So everyday,

within the confines of

hell's imprisonment,

a simple mark brought me closer

to thoughts of unfettered freedom.

 

Survival became merely routine

as an acid tongue

burnt into my soul.

My path remained focussed

in marks of silent defiance

and there comes a time

when castle walls crumble.

 

Finally released

to travel my journey to happiness,

your embryo has bled

as I aborted your fusion

    sometimes we remember not to take things for granted... grow with understanding the trials that we go through are there to simply give the wisdom that we all need.



    Interesting perspective!
    Keep penning on one stroke at a time!

    What an ending! This whole poem is so very powerful and sad at the same time. I loved it. You are a remarkable poetess.
