Notes About The Poem

Quietus 2026 Poetry Contest

Death isn’t an escape

Death isn’t an escape from troubles,
        weak hearts do prefer it.
Human souls aren’t water bubbles 
      meant to fly, burst and quit.

On this earth we are born 
      to harvest our own corn 
plucking out every thorn.

Always be in shape ~
      Death isn’t an escape.
