Redemption

Posted on by Reena Saxena

dark alleys of thought
foray into nothingness
on the verge of light

it’s not me
it’s that nagging voice
that incites
enrages
at its best – encourages
me to take the leap

resentment
to thoughts of revenge
scalding words
hands like swords
cut sheaths of oppression
expose hollow claims

power in
presumptuous hands
falls like ash
ruins of
dilapidated structures
give way to free will

  3. A singular take on the prompt, Reena, the imagery of the interior landscape being filled with metaphors of the persona’s state of mind. So effective, and in the end, all give way to “the leap” taken.
