🤔 Maybe a bit Melodramatic

Stepping out onto the Gallows
with death's twisted knot casting a shadow
across a mother's once kissed angelic face
and my only prayer is that may God or fate
cast them out the same way

Come! Stand at ease my executioner
and unbind this once tormented soul
for the cosmos feels a more welcoming place

And the only thing they are killing is the pain of it all

Poetry is known to the poet so excuse me if I am not understanding exactly?
I think of death as an enemy that will one day lose its power.
I know some long for nonexistent,especially when depression strikes, but mostly I long for eternity

@Justmeraeagain I think about death often and I don't want to be here, but what you don't see in poetry and art is the reason behind the writing.

When I wrote this I had people following me around Fcking with me and it caused me to quit my job and I ended up at a homeless shelter. I felt like I was being persecuted and for what I'll never know because to me I've never done anything wrong, I've only been wronged. And that's what I was running away from.

At the homeless shelter the ceiling was very old stylish it felt like I was inside of an old light house with very tall ceilings and a small window that I could barely see any daylight out of. That's where I wrote with this poem and I do pray that whatever is out their pays whoever has been apart of this back.

@Lostpoet I am sorry you had such a hard go.
I try not to think of myself in negative terms,because it brings on the depression and I chose to forgive so that I am not all tangled up in knots.
I do believe justice will come,but perhaps not the way we would wish it to, and perhaps not until death.
I have quit seeking vengeance as that only makes me bitter, uptight, and unproductive.
I am not saying you have not been wronged, not telling you how to think, I only know doing the above has given me peace.
