When I first walked into Hell, I didn’t even realize it had happened. It was like out of nowhere, The puppies became hellhounds And the beautiful lakes became Pits of lava. The sun was now too hot and The clouds were getting darker. The gray sky seemed endless And time was meaningless. Shackles wrapped around my wrists And ankles, Holding me prisoner in my own Despair. The black smoke that then flew From my throat was accompanied By a shrill wail And I watched with wide eyes As a gargoyle materialized in front Of me And sat atop my lungs. I tried my best to scream, But all I could muster were A few mere whimpers. It was then that I heard the Noise surrounding me. I looked around to see people Smiling and laughing with the Devil. Someone waved me over And held up a glass of Red liquid. I said nothing. The woman shrugged And turned back to the Group. Did they not see all of it? The lava, the shackles, The gargoyle sitting on top Of me? I looked into the eyes of The fearsome creature and It disappeared before my eyes, Along with the shackles. I stood up on shaking feet. I could still feel the weight Of him on my lungs And the restraints around My wrists and ankles.

Walking Into Hell
When I first walked into Hell, I didn’t even realize it had happened. It was like out of nowhere, The puppies became hellhounds And the beautiful lakes became Pits of lava. The sun was now too hot and The clouds were getting darker. The gray sky seemed endless And time was meaningless. Shackles wrapped around my wrists And ankles, Holding me prisoner in my own Despair. The black smoke that then flew From my throat was accompanied By a shrill wail And I watched with wide eyes As a gargoyle materialized in front Of me And sat atop my lungs. I tried my best to scream, But all I could muster were A few mere whimpers. It was then that I heard the Noise surrounding me. I looked around to see people Smiling and laughing with the Devil. Someone waved me over And held up a glass of Red liquid. I said nothing. The woman shrugged And turned back to the Group. Did they not see all of it? The lava, the shackles, The gargoyle sitting on top Of me? I looked into the eyes of The fearsome creature and It disappeared before my eyes, Along with the shackles. I stood up on shaking feet. I could still feel the weight Of him on my lungs And the restraints around My wrists and ankles.
