Swim Into the Falls

Written 20071004 Sadness slowly flows through my veins The only way is a penalty I ask myself why did I do it What defeated the purpose in killing Such disparity, vengeance I created I look down at the reflection How could I be such an animal Staring at the face in the water My final decision has been struck I turned and looked at the surroundings Police in sight at every corner Thinking clearly, I must escape I do not wish to spend my life behind iron bars Inside these prison walls evil lurking everywhere Something that holds you unaware of consciousness I glance behind my shoulder nervously Running faster... step by step the men come Bending my knees I dive deep into the water There was a soft whisper seeping through my ears I listened to the voice speaking softly I swim far deep to the other side of the river I wait to see if someone is following Nothing but the rushing water above They were gone, no cops in sight or in view I cheer quietly for my success The victory of my escape My appreciation from the voice in which I heard Exciting to remember the very words "Swim into the falls."
