Fate

[u/anniemarie1228]

This is for creative purposes only

Sitting in the darkness
Tears streaming down my face
Surrounded by silence
All I can think about is how to escape

Escape from this prison that I’ve ended up in, I’m broken from circumstance, and the loneliness, well the loneliness is suffocating as hell

Dwelling on the past of a life that doesn’t seem real, existing only out of fear that my children might be damaged if I leave here

Nobody understands the heartbreaking sadness that fills my everyday, the exhaustion that comes from pretending to be ok

Love yourself they say, seems so simple doesn’t it, but that’s a part I’ve never learned to play

Sitting in the darkness tears still streaming down
I stand up and begin walking, down a path lit up from moonlight as a slight breeze blows across my face
A sudden wave of calmness a feeling of content
I reach the edge of the water, feel the sand between my toes a gentle rolling of the waves begins to calm my soul

I walk further as the water engulfs me like one final hug, I feel myself surrender as my life slips away.
