The Dark Escape

They follow me wanting my blood to boil due to a perverse innocence Yet I kneel and scream in the name of the forsaken why am I the chosen one Branded with the sign of the beast I crawl through days of bitter unhappiness Can the new moon save me does she have the power to transform humanity I am not alone through punishment and turmoil Yet there is one way out an exit that eludes me the dark escape

This is an interesting story. At its ending, I wonder if the escape is physical, or is it mental? It is confining and frightening.

Foreboding feel to it, reminiscent of my piece Apocalypse Now. Be interesting if you wrote a follow up
