Fears

Salt flows in water, form of tears,

Stems from sorrow, torture, fears.

Days on end, away from sun,

As Death awaits with boneless leer.

Dreams cast aside, left with nightmares,

All around me slaves despair.

Whips they crack and people fade,

And life goes by without a care.

I will survive, I will pull through.

But is that a lie, these words untrue?

What awaits but more of misery?

What's next but more of servitude?

Hands are bloody, broken are bones.

Sanity's left mind alone.

Darkness of the mind abounds,

And madness speaks in whispered tones.

Broken body, broken mind.

And Death stands near, now looking kind.

A chance to flee, chance to escape,

Perhaps through Death, freedom I'll find…
