Escape

The anger

seethes within

growing, writhing

Acidic rage

threatening to explode and overflow

This, the corrosive result

of the wrong done to me

It lengthens the transgressor's grasp

reaches into my soul

grips my life

I hold onto its

suffocating comfort

unsure if I am gripping it

or it is gripping me

My focus has shifted

I cannot tell

My only escape from

this destructive circle

is a supernatural journey

from anger to forgiveness

Forgiveness granted to the undeserving

unrepentant source

I take a step

and move

slowly

towards

freedom
