A Release
Can I blame it on anything
Or anyone
Other than me
And my own sensitivity?
Pray, fallen into a world which belongs not to me
Fallen, lost, scared, and teary
I find not any anchorage
Except in the hope that Death displays
Why,
Am I to be blaming my state
On anyone else
Other than me?
The Goddess had whispered to me her wish
Yet,
Even then, it would seem
That this world
And its illusory powers
Are way too strong for her
Having easily torn her will into million of pieces
And having, broken,
In this way,
My heart, into irrecuperable pieces!
Why,
A world so tricky, so lost
Revolving upon its own compulsion to,
Is it not a prison for sinners?
Is it not a place where we come to suffer
For the reactions of our actions?
Yet, a world it is,
Which even the dark era has invaded
So much that what once a glory
Is now never meant to be!
And in this world,
I tread,
Relying solely on that which Death promises,
A release from that which is tangled
Around my ankles, around my wrists,
Around my fatelines,
Around my heart,
A release
Into silence,
Into a state of being,
While non being,
A release,
At last, a release,
Which shall carry no resentment, no hurt,
No fake smiles, no tears,
No hope, no regrets
Merely
A release, as is felt
By birds, when they get offered their freedom
After having been caged all their lives!
