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!!!

Ayesha Karim March 11, 2013 at 5:05 PM 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.
