I closed my eyes,
trying to forget everything,
every moment of those days,
that landed me here.
In this dungeon,I'm left alone
drowned in a sea of desolation.
I realized that time was passing by,
and soon the end will come,
the unanticipated but inevitable,
the fall of everything except,
the sun,the moon and the truth.
those days were the best,
when the truth was engraved in our hearts,
even in the midst of chaos,
our spirits were poisoned with rebellion
Now everything has vanished
I'm the only one left behind
to be engulfed by the wretched fate
I wish I was free again
freed from the burdens of life
away from the burdens of guilt
far away,never to return again
I got drenched in a cold sweat
when the pounding steps of
the prison guards came by
I saw the mad gleam in his eyes
Soon my hands were cuffed
and I was dragged to the gallows.
It was daybreak,my very last ,
no more tears ,no more regrets,
It's time to say goodbye,
And your voice still resonates in my mind,
helping me to muster courage,
to face the inevitable without fear.
this will be the darkest day,
the world will repent on,
this is a diabolic twist of fate
all rebels will have to face.
Dear ruler, the lord of the land
Only my shadow can be killed,
the voices within me will live,
to spread the news of freedom far and wide

this poem is written for all my brothers and sisters in the world fought for freedom and are still fighting for it.
maybe when we have to give up on our ideologies let these words bring hope and relief.

I like your ideas and style here. I agree with Monsieur-Fluffybuns though. But once the rhythm is fixed, this would be amazing.
