A Fugitive of Life

There are some gateways
to free you out of bond
of what you call a prison
and others hold it fond

There are some gateways
to save you from your plight
though you lack in strength
all knows of your might

Go on, go on
and be a fugitive
of what you hate and love so dear
what you call your life

There are some gateways
to set you forever free
let you fly as high as you wish
up and beyond that line of tree

There are some gateways
for you to be forever saved
away from all the pain
and walk on a road already paved

Sail on, sail on
through all the lies and obstacles
glimpse the edge of your prison
and melt into the sun’s last rays

Ovidiu saw this before I did, and I agree with what that person put. You were clearly going to be one of the finalists. Well done. Julia
