#hell poems on Hello Poetry

Man 2d

Love is as to a dry well,
The heart akin to the empty bucket.
I would be convinced that this is hell,
Had I not tasted of heaven.
Is this a shadow realm?
Like mirrors' reflections?
Is there someone like myself?
Aching & longing for one to reach out?
True in their intentions?

~•§•~ Nothing New ~•§•~

I wish you were a better liar
Because I'm able to see right through
This half baked gaslight fire
"It's not me, it's you" you spew
Then sit back and admire
The hell you put me through
Knowing your favorite reaction's about to transpire
A knee **** wish for an end I feel is past due
Triggering thoughts that are dire
And when I think I've reached peak punishment
It's nothing new
To be kicked when I'm down
Pushing the bar ever higher

~•§•~ Willing to Sell ~•§•~

The more I try
The more I fail
A cattywampus scale
Creating this personalized
Dollar general designer hell
A fiery well
I'm always drawn back to
In a spell
And I keep mindlessly pushing
Circling like a carousel
Why pray tell?
I couldn't tell
But I'll tell you what,
If you know someone buying souls
I'd be willing to sell
If they pay well

only good girls go to hell

only good girls go to hell
'cause who else would take
all that suffering and pain?

the hunger games

ignore the hunger
keep the lion tame
you have joined
the hunger games

**** in your stomach
cover it up
with an oversized hoodie
this *****.

ignore the hunger
ignore the hunger
they'll start hurting you again
if you eat
if you eat
you'll go through the same pain
i want a new brain

ignore the hunger.
survive longer
lose weight
never take

welcome
to the hunger games

Beyond the Drink

Spinning, out of control,
I can see the bottom
Gnarly hands dripping sinew
Grasping at my feet
Eager for me to join
Their twisted feast
Where hunger is not the mode
To satiate the emptiness
But a bitter thirst
To quench the infernal fires
That fed fuel to their burning desire
For me to join them in the abyss
Of loneliness built atop bones of pleasure
Piled up high with lost souls
Who were too weak to look up
And see the sky where birds fly
Or the trees and their lovely greens
A beautiful scene of all the things
Which will be left behind
If I continue to hide and not seek
The wonderful world beyond the drink

So, up I climb
Never to look back
Into the deep

one learnt lesson

I know of only one learnt lesson,
the clouds and darkness
like a mist slips right through me,
and the flames no longer burn me,
and no-body can see me.

I wish that I could just click my heels
and this world of a vile Oz,
would swallow me up like a witch
starving in her prey-ful lair.

The slits and pills have no effect,
but a dream-ful non-fake smile
emerges with effortless muscles
drowning in a red filled shadow
one I'm responsible
of my own creation.

I never asked for this life
and the waves keep crushing
rowdily and whirls up
like a hurricane in my mind.

The best day ever of my life,
is now a living nightmare,
Purgatory is circular
There'll never be an end.....

Hell

I've given up religion
After every church said
There's a special place
For people like me
Just for trying to
Make my pain
Go away

My father beat me up pretty badly for as long as I can remember... when I was fifteen I said no more and gave him a little of what he deserved - and got kicked out of his house for it. That same week my first girlfriend dumped me.
It was just too much for a teen to handle without proper help and it seemed like that despair would stay forever. So I went to 3 different drug stores and bought every pain killer I could get my hands into... and took them all at once. I was so lucky my sistem rejected them and made me throw up.
So that's why I cut the cord from church... isn't God love? Isn't God forgiveness? Or am I doomed almost from the start?
I like to think not... I like to think that's no more than an earthly claim.

Door/Key

The key circles round to the lock
A lock which is known needs no key
A door that only faces inward
On the outside has nothing to see

To open the way is to find yourself
Staring at the firmly locked door
To find the key is to notice
You've not needed a key here before

The way to ascend is much lower
Not up or through but behind
So that door and its lock will remain
Until we let them leave our mind
