-- No Escape --

No Escape Route

By Sally Clarke

Speeding crazily downwards,
Out of control.
High walls either side,
Crushing my soul.

Nowhere to fix my gaze,
Can’t catch my failing breath.
Just darkness, no trace of light,
Overwhelming sense of death.

It’s hidden out of sight,
My final destination.
Mouth dry with silent screams,
A heart-stopping sensation.

A soul-destroying nightmare,
Will I always have no peace.
Eternal roller coaster,
When will this journey cease.
