freedom

freedom can be bare feet
or naked
or laughter
freedom can be poetry
This is the point of no return
The point where the roads no longer converge
The point where endings don’t meet
And the last tear of sacrifice has dripped.

All the path is ablaze
All spin of memories wrought
Photographs and visions burnt
And the birds of darkness have flown across the coast

Swirl and hurl into a tailspin of sins
Flesh is intact but scars won’t heal
It leaves a mark so indelible it cannot be healed
Pains of the past keep repeating
Soul in solitude, now in misery

We walked along this dreaded path
Scathed, restless like streams
By the river, we promised the moon we shall move on
Time said I did, and still I am
Yet alone, yet in vain

For life is but fair
Fair to child’s fragile heart hoping
Fair to every dream candid
Fair to every life not spared

The destiny weeps for my daunting decisions.
I feel sorry for my life.

— The End —
