SALVATION

Salvation is too far away

I need it now not some other day

My soul needs releasing

From a body tired and weary

I am already in my own living hell

Death will offer no more tragedies

Only an unwanted eternity of misery

My beliefs

My wants

My needs

Have created the quagmire of despair

I am trapped in

Pessimism rules the day

I need to be set free

Life is a meddlesome bore

Never ending

Tortuously continuing

Almost damning

A great travesty

Is this ungrateful living

Who will unlatch me

From the roots that stubbornly

Keep me rooted here in the present

Lingering on?

A destructive trend

Of self-annihilation has set in

Almost

It is so controlling

This stubborn irresponsible breathing

I am entombed in my own hell

Not ready to go

Not wanting to stay

I want

And need

To be set free
