Hell

I cry out,
are you there?
I will speak,
please listen

I have been to Hell
in the flames I burned
the blade as my solace
the pills quiet the screams

the demons ran round me
they tugged at my feet
they whispered the lies
which I can't help but believe

the faces of those around me
I feared to see
is this what I look like
so I asked to behold

they gave me a mirror
and laughed at me more
I looked at the reflection
and a pale ghost stared back

the image was frightening
and I broke down once more
I saw every drop of blood
every pill shown to me

there is no one to blame
I did this to me
razor blade controlled by my hand
water flushed down every drug

I took my eyes of the mirror
and it slowly burnt to the ground
I wished I could burn with it
just let me die

where did I go wrong
oh God, my God
I cried out to you
and the devil got to me first

this is my final plea
save me from this pit of Hell
in this battle of angel and demon
please help me win

upon his wing he will bear me up
lest I dash my foot against a stone
yet when I slash my hip against the blade
there is no one to save me

I bow my head in prayer
as the devil taunts
with You all things are possible
oh God, deliver me from Hell
