An escape from the tattered state
An escape from the years of waiting
I want an escape from the primordial needs!
With the weight of buried memories
I really desire to elope alone
Along with the burdens
Of unfulfilled dreams!
Just because it’s a thousand years of
Waiting in the void land
Nobody can tempt me to stay behind!
A secret journey of so many years of pain
Now the body is staggering with its wretched feet to get peace at least,
Of crumbling values
Of an undesirable memory…
To heal from the trauma of the yesteryears
And to be reborn as a man
Renunciation is not that we all desire
We all are here to redeem us from “the past sin”!
All that I want is an escape
from the sordid realities of this dingy being
Onto the path of unravelling an infinite state!
