No Escape

(Narrative poem)

There is no escape from the pain.

It follows me.

Hiding in the shadows.

I turn away to find sun.

The pain turns it into darkness.

Run as I may, the darkness will find me.

I find an open door and I approach it.

But the pain rushes ahead and shuts it.

Trapped in a corner.

Pain, turns to darkness.

Darkness turns to danger.

Day and night.

There is no escape.
