And so he sat
Gracefully sat
On an old cupboard
Grieving his past
Wistful in wallow
He repented for sins
He did not commit

His ego didn't compromise
Lying bare in bone
Naked to the societal world
Prepared for his demise

A Mistake, alas he had made
One that no one forgave
He weeped and weeped and sowed the seeds
Did not think to breathe
Sulking and sullen, crushed by thoughts
Bitter till the end

One mistake, he said,
Could not impact his grace
He could not live his life
In anxiety and self-loathing

A simple mistake
An endless mistake
Laughter he could hear
From the surroundings, clear
Begged he did for mercy
The almighty saw no urgency
What fool had he been?

Embarrassment from within
Despondently in his whims
His thoughts slowed
and slowly he walked towards a hill

Laughter, laughter,
All around
Tears he suffered
His thoughts not allowed
The peak he finally reached
Silence guided him through
Free from the world
Free from the pain
Finally, a real escape.
