I don’t need words and pages
to explain the concept of hell –
just being human, just living
will teach you invaluable lessons,
will drag you through depths
testing and defining character
while breaking what you thought you know,
who you thought you were.
Hell is boundless and placeless –
stop for a moment while watching a version of yourself
repeat mistakes and moments, the outcome the same,
the soul that much more jaded with each pass.
Is that any way to live?
Is that what we were meant for?
What is this fire we walk within?
It is the experiences we ignore.
It is the respect we chose to forget.
