SELF DESTRUCTION

What tormented the lady
whom self destruct
near the railroad tracts?
Why?

Encapsulated in her lonely world
no friends or family visitors –
or was it heart felt lost of spouse –
or grieving over parting of ways –
or lost of family members?
Fragmented Family?

Housed in senior complex
with over 150 fraternal members.
Surly there must be a friend
she could lean-on?
Alone in midst of multitude?

Demons – torment her mind –
cancerous growth metastasize.
Pulsating beat within
wailing wall of her mind.
Tormented!

Demons imprison in her mind –
her damnation on earth –
death her penance.
Sweet – sweet death the opiate
liberates her soul from bondage –
her spirit rose
from the smoldering ashes –
free from the prison of her mind.
A Conundrum!
