Is This Hell

Is this hell? Fire scorching my skin but I also feel cold,colder than ice I shiver yet it burns Will the pain ever stop? I'm oblivious to anything but the pain Is any help for me? Is it late for that? No, my child, HE says I barley hear him over over my screaming But I cry out and he reaches a hand to me I stretch, but something holds me back An invisible force pulling me farther into the fire I try to resist, but the burning aches on through the night More invisible forces join They are too strong for me But then one drop follows the other His rain pous over me Cools and soothes my skin like the relief of water in a parched throat And I have been saved!!!

This poem is about desperation isolation fear and so many other things even salvation. I think that's too much you have here going on in one poem. I would choose two main ideas or themes instead of so many and I have dealt with similar problems you are not alone. It only serves the enemy to make you and I feel that way. Emotions cannot govern a person at least they should not govern an individual: anybody.
