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
