To Parish

To parish would be to gain-
Freedom. Freedom
From that which haunts me.

Not to perish in a physical sense, 
No- 
That would be pointless. 

I must perish mentally.
Kill that which envelops my 
Being. Thoughts

Of a bright future, 
A better tomorrow,
A new life.

This one has a great theme..You are saying that there is no hope but be assured there is hope..Maybe not here on this earth but one day all that is wrong on this earth will be turned right..Sara
