In shadows cast by moonlight's glow,
Mankind's
dreams falter, hopes laid low,
An escape they
seek, where burdens wane,
Responsibilities,
a fleeting pain.
The weight of life, a crushing load,
Expectations, a heavy road,
No strength to stand, no will to fight,
The darkest hour, the blackest night.
The easiest path, a silent plea,
To end it all, to cease to be,
Alas, the hopes that died in vain,
Alas, the soul that bears the pain.
From mind to heart, from soul to flesh,
A tragic tale
in silent hush,
A life that
sank to lifeless sleep,
A heart that
knows the endless deep.
Life’s a trauma,
a cruel jest,
To defeat
oneself, eternal rest,
To win by
death, the final breath,
An urge to ease, to escape in death.
Alas, the
laughter that now fades,
In empty rooms,
in hollow shades,
The soul grieves... the heart cries...
with every tear, a world of lies.
A tragedy
unfolds; whispers cold, in tales retold,
The burdened
laugh, the weary jest,
To seek escape, to find no rest.
Yet in the
dark, a sliver’s gleam,
A fading star,
a distant dream,
For even in
this somber play,
A hope that
lingers, come what may.
Alas, dear
soul, the battle’s fierce,
The wounds are
deep, the scars they pierce,
But in the struggle, find your part, Tragedy of heart.
For life,
though heavy, holds its grace,
In every
shadow, a tender trace,
So laugh at
pain, that one face,
it was clearly
an Escape not death.....
