Safe...

She seemed engrossed
In her books at the time
no could tell what demons dwelled
In the crevices of her mind
That in a matter of seconds
She would leave the world behind
All it took was a slit of her wrist
All it took was a slip in time

From the neighbouring house
Rang prayers to welcome the night
But she was already far away
Searching desperately for the light
That light that each one was to follow
But the dark tunnel she was treading
Seemed tiringly hollow
The promised peace
Was no where to be seen
She felt a thousand splinters
Pierce her being
The darkness began to seep inside
Every pore
She gasped for a last breath
as she lay drowning in the ocean of unrest

In the deafening silence
She heard a faint call of her name
She tried to flow towards it
But she lay pinned to pain
She tried to scream out
But no sound came from within
the voice seemed to move
Further away
Its mere echo remained

And then the world blacked out
She could not fight any further
 Earlier she had given up life
But now life had given up on her
She heard the voice
call her name once again
This time
she wouldnt let it get away
She mustered all her strength to stretch out her shapeless hand

She felt weightless atlast
She seemed to have finally found the light
So majestic and blinding
it hurt her eyes
She had journeyed to the ocean of peace
She could now sigh with relief
God's hand stroked her head
She felt hot tears wet her face
She was grateful to feel something
She was grateful to feel anything at all
She summoned courage to look up to the one she would give herself up to
God looked just like her mother
God smelt just the same
God's arms embraced her and welcomed her to a safe place.
