Carefully Escaping Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Resisting temptations in life, quietly resolving to keep
totally to self, a feat in itself, because of the large
family I come from.

There's never any space to hide, having to create it, no
one can enter, always searching for an essence of a life
that is possible in the future.

Aware at every turn that life is fragile and temporary,
yet continuing on the pathway to a final sunset.

Walking into the last moment of life, prepared totally for
another life in heaven, never to come back to this one of
pain and sorrow here on earth.

Carefully escaping, to find a way into other dimensions far
from this one, taking chances just to be at peace within.
