Leave Me Alone

“Leave me alone” I implored

Pleading clemency, I couldn’t afford

Jaded and dejected I yearned for peace

All this abhorrence must immediately cease.

*

Months bled into melancholic years

None noticed my silent tears

The scars are my confidante now

They seem to comprehend my pains, somehow.

*

Torn ‘n tattered

Beaten ‘n battered

As soul leaves the body torn ‘n bruised

The mind abandons the body it has used.

*

Travelling through the stars,

Bestowed me peace, sans any bars

Now that I’m a celestial wonder

Craving for eternal tranquility is no more a blunder.

*

My bruises and my scars are now healed

Though feelings and emotions are concealed

My eternal soul is free and at peace

Being on the other side is such a bliss!
