Abruptly
I am thrown
into
cold cold cold
water
quickly sinking
deeper
deeper
deeper.

Once pulsating
with the sensations of
life,
my body is
silent, numb, surviving.

I feel no more.
I am
no
more.

No breath left.

I am dragged up
to
air.

like backing up
into an electric fence that I didn't know was there,
I am startled with returning sensation.

Pain, ice, misery.

I take a breath, and wait
to go
numb.
I am writing this during a sudden burst of feelings of depression. I feel like I've been numb to any issues and am suddenly being shocked awake and hoping to return to some way of coping.

I am floating

Higher
Higher
Higher

I can only float so high
I know this

When will I crash?

Maybe this time things can change.

Let me reach a little higher
Before
I crash
Back down

Farther
Farther
Farther

Doctor Doctor!
Help me! I'm dying!
My cells are crying!

Everyone is screaming!
I can't quit bleeding, and
I need to stop breathing!

Jumping up
screaming
your fingernails tear
the wallpaper that was never there
walls
crumbling down
where are you now?

I've figured it out: I'm dead.
And, wow, there is a God!
One just as horrible as they said.
This is a short poem describing the realization of being in Hell, and having been sent there by an unjust God.

**** your flowery words
they, just like you,
don't mean ****.
