Finally Free

A choking life
In a filthy, crowded berth
Ending with my death.

Then I'm alone
On a desiccated Earth
Burning my flesh.

Another kind of
Tragedy
In every new future.

All that lingers
Is the endless suffering
I must endure.

Another day
And another poison
Infects my sorry blood.

I brace myself
For the dreaded submersion
Wait for the flood.

What kind of future
Will I bear
What torment will I spread.

Only this time
There is something different
I'm inside my head.

Free
There is a true way out
An end to the fallacy
I do not want to die, I just want to get
Free
There is a dangerous way
I'll endure it, I'm ready
I will dare anything until I'm finally free.

I am aware
Even though I have hints
Of a wicked future.

A distant fate
Unfolds in spite of me
No more a torture.

I am aware
And realize
There's nobody around.

All that remains
Is to jump out of the couch
And I will be gone.

Free
There is a true way out
An end to the fallacy
I do not want to die, I just want to get
Free
There is a dangerous way
I'll endure it, I'm ready
I will dare anything until I'm finally free.
