''To Hell and Back''

Oh' you scared,persecuted square.
Dante melts my suffering skin.
Darkness falls in limbo as a curse to me.
I'm a gluttonous fraud.
Spitting in tune they say-''We spare not the tears of weakness.''
Rage fuels the hatred,as twas my acute demise.

Anoint thy soul heavenly father.
I was once tired.
Now given the gift of imminent strength.
Blessed by a prominent light.
I've surrendered my body.
Feel no pain,agony escapes me.

Kacey,...You traveled to hell and then back to heaven in this entry...Appreciated the interjection of Dante melting your suffering skin and then the call for the God's anointing on the second half...Nice reversal of tho't! If you have other Christian poetry that you would like to share with me, please let me know...It is a great way to meditate...gwendolen
