Freedom in Flames

Walking in a forest of endless Hell,

Living as an empty shell,

Wondering if I was doomed to fail,

I stand within this darkened realm.

A can of gas beside my feet,

Matches huddled in my hands,

I ponder on this mortal choice,

Should I continue submission,

Or finally decide my future life?

I hear them coming at brisk pace,

Demanding they control my fate.

Carrying their chains of power,

My keepers trap me, intending to strike.

Saying I belong to them,

That I must live to serve their will.

Drenching myself with the gas,

I light the match and burst into flames.

The witnesses all scream in horror,

But I just smile into tranquil silence,

Drawing my last breath.
