Cast Me Down

Cast me down where the devil won’t go
Send me farther than damnation 
What would I have to fear?
I’ve been there before

Send me farther than damnation
Beyond the lapping flames
I’ve been there before
This darker realm

Beyond The lapping flames
A world shredded with mystery
This darker realm
Beyond the devil’s lair

A world shredded with mystery
Filled with hallow, crushing, devastating nothingness
Beyond the devil’s lair
His fire does not reach this land 

Filled with hallow, crushing, devastating nothingness
Satan himself would collapse in pain
His fire does not reach this land
My fire will

Satan Himself would collapse
I will stand and walk
My fire will
Light my way

I will stand and walk
I will find my way out with my fire 
To light my way
I will escape as I have before

I will find my way out with my fire 
I will stand as the devil gawks at my freedom
I will escape as I have before
The darkness doesn’t scare me anymore

I will stand as the devil gawks at my freedom
He will never be as fearless as I
The darkness doesn’t scare me anymore
So cast me down where the devil won’t go

Jaycee, this reminds me of singer-songwriter Elle King's "Where the Devil Don't go." Your poem has the stronger message that regardless what is thrown at you, you're going to stand, walk, find your own way out and escape. Inspiring! ~Mark
