Escaping

This dagger I hold before me A glinting in the early light One plunge and I will be free To move on to my next fight Bound by this useless flesh I crave for sweet release Free from this constricting mesh I wish to seek my soul’s peace Cutting crimson lines across To stop this dull aching pain Cutting through life’s false gloss An end to this long campaign A brief moment of burning A fire across my skin My body my spirit spurning Free from deep within Floating above my prison I look down upon my cage Now the my soul has risen My life starts a new page
