When Death Calls

I long for a place of freedom & peace,
Where mortal filth does not exist, a place pure & clean.
I want to go there, but I don’t know where it is,
I see it in my mind & reach for it in my dreams.

Each day I wander aimlessly upon this earth, 
Trying to find rhyme or reason, the purpose of my birth.
Although I have great blessings, I still cannot find,
Fulfilment & peace within my mind.

I don’t know how or when my spirit died,
All I know, is, that I feel numb inside,
I hate that often feel this way, 
It adds to my feelings of guilt & betray.

And so, it continues, no peace for my mind,
This war in my head, is what I wish to leave behind.
I long for a place, with no tears and no pain,
I know it exists, I can hear it calling my name.
