Poetry - The Escape Route

Unable to express these feelings inside, Boiling throughout with rage, As he tries to look far wide, Finds himself trapped within the cage Powerless to break past these shackles, Stuck within the circle of duty, Shaking up his heart's hackles, No longer enjoying the spring beauty Withering down like autumn leaves, Breaking apart piece by piece, Smoked up everything he believes, Hopeless for any kind of peace Being chased away into darkness, Defenceless against his ferocity, Scarred along with his word's sharpness, Can't help but endure his animosity Hiding behind the veil of attachment, Entangled fear becoming rife, Resolves around the final judgement, Escaping his forlorn state of life

He looked up in the sky, To thank him for thy angel, For he knew the mother's cry, Could pierce him in an instant He woke up with a cry, And filled her with blissful tears, When she heard the little one's voice, Washing away all her fears For one can't understand true love, Till he takes her place in life, But no one could, she's there above All, Her love carved in his heart The sweet voice of her lullaby, Still playing in his ears, He grew up into a man, But still her little child throughout years
