A Man Exits

I escaped the horizon

feeling nothing was the easiest existence

leaving a world of regret in a wake of flames

no flame ever burned as bright

I will not live a martyr

no more eyes to frame my falls

I can't live life for closed hearts

joy left me that day

pulled from my hands as they robbed me of life

I am leaving earth

burning the past as i turn and wave goodbye

I am finally alive
