Escaping Life

 
 
A tattered soul desperately searching for a threaded needle,
Ripped and plagued by life’s intricate conundrums,
 
A demented moth hopelessly searching for purifying flames,
To be cleansed from life’s constant hurts and worries,
 
A cast shadow frantically trying to wrench itself away,
From the ugly form of life’s false promises,
 
A simple relief obtained by knocking on death’s unfastened door,
The final escape from life’s reality,
 
Rest….
