Escape to Misery

Escape to Misery

Shattered and stumbling
Crawling through the empty space,
Searching futilely
For release from the revulsion.
I scream, but my scream goes unheard

Pain, death, suffering:
Life’s bile-ridden viscera,
Existing only to destroy
Tranquility time and time again.
I scream, but my scream goes unheard

Bony fingers grapple for a hold
On the rusted ledge that remains to grasp
The glass showering down over the eaves
Deeply etching their torture in scarlet letters.
I scream, but my scream goes unheard.

It creaks and splinters,
Like the glass before it, and
The reddened rivers flow faster now.

I try to escape…
I call for help…
Struggling…
Grappling…
Fighting…
