I Despair At My Accidental Death

hopelessness despair rage at myself
my own doing
my fault I am here
raging fires
inferno
uncomfortable

hopelessness personified
my eyes close
i do not need to see more
i know what has happened
i despair at my accidental death

i never meant to end up here.
never thought this could happen to me.
heard the flapping of wings

Fly, the dove said,
you do not belong here,
and my faith set me free,

Well penned; had to "Fav". Great imagery in it as well.

thank you M.L. This was a writing prompt picture of a dove flapping her wings, in the bowls of what looked like an orange hell.
