Life’s tortures seem a part of my biological design absorbing pain, a phenotype and solutions, seemingly advancing in a slow motion ten hands all over, tearing my blouse hundred long nails shredding my skin down to the dermis The waters have turned salty and all edibles-decayed with maggots I’m roasted by hunger and fried with thirst pressed by two rocks and the valley of escape filled with thorns and reptiles I’ve been tied to the Earth for even animals to trample upon escaping from a dangerous path lands me on a slippery ground sliding down, having a free fall with no help But! The same life which once passes urine on me has now provided a fresh stream for a deep bath the same sky, once filled with pregnant dark clouds shines the light of hope and freedom I’ve been hit but not crushed, bruised but not bleeding heated but not burnt and swallowed but not chewed I’m out! I’ve overcomed and now I’m free!
