death

metaphorical meanings + explanation at the end

-

this neighborhood bears a heavy curse

it is haunted

by years of pain and misery

what if we become like our parents

we need to leave

his hand in mine

we ran

till we were stopped at a crossroad

where we met death

death was in a good mood

he cracked a few jokes

and then got down to business

in order to move forward

one of us had to die

or

go back and never be able to leave

it is not a surprise that i

chose to give up my life

rather than go back

and live in town

which wanted to end me

i am far too young

to live a life

that they want me to live

if a deal with death is the answer,

then be it.

lightning struck

the deal had been sealed

i closed my eyes as

drops of water ran down my face

it didn't matter whether

they were because of the rain

or because of my tears

i was very much alive

and the road

which was previously blocked

has now been opened

death gave me a humourless smile

aren't you brave

my next meeting with him

was seventy years later

and it is safe to say

the curse on the town had been lifted

explanation: sometimes we are afraid to make choices in our life because we feel as if we aren't ready to take the risk.

the neighborhood were her problems so she tried to leave them behind rather than living with them.

as she was trying to run way, she encountered death (a metaphorical way of me trying to say someone who was preventing her to leave away from her problems). she was offered a risky choice, either she could go back to the neighborhood (have to live with her problems) or die trying to save herself.

she chose the latter, she took the option she normally wouldn't have taken, she put herself first without thinking what other people might think. death was astounded by her bravery and the curse on the neighborhood (the wounds because of the problems she had) was lifted, (her wounds healed).

keep in mind that her problems didn't finish, nor did her life become a cliche happily ever after, they healed (not ended!)
