One word becomes one idea, becomes one sentence, becomes one
poem, becomes one story. It must start from just “one word”. Today my one word
is “Hell”.
"HELL" - Written by Phyllis P. Colucci aka "FictionTarot"
HELL
What is hell? Is it a person, is it a
place or is it a thing? Is it all three happening at the same time, or is it
possibly just your state of mind? Hell can be the most evil, hateful and
vicious PERSON you can ever encounter; hell can be that PLACE where you will
burn for eternity, as promised by your religious upbringing, if you are “bad”;
or hell can just be that THING that hovers over you like a dark cloud, on a
daily basis, to simply remind you of the bad and the ugly. …Well, wake up! Hell
is a nightmare created in your own psyche. Hell exists in your own mind. It is
only there that you will burn for
eternity. Hell is a choice. It’s your choice. Now shout it out! Say it! “Get
the ‘HELL’ out of here!” Say it again! You see, if you say it loud enough and
you actually mean it - IT will go away. Watch it dissipate before your eyes, while
you walk back into your life as the warrior that you are. Then go find that
PERSON, PLACE or THING that makes you the happiest. Your STATE OF MIND will be
waiting patiently there for you.
HELL
Vicious, evil,
hateful, cold
A malignant, sinful, virulent mold
Hell is the fire
in your soul
that burns from
within
It’s raw; it’s
bold
Hell is the PERSON
who lurks about
Who shatters
your heart and casts all doubt
Hell is the PLACE which tears you apart;
Limb from limb; an
injured start
It’s the THING
that torments you
night and day
It’s your STATE
OF MIND
as you lose your
way
Hell is a demon and
your worst nightmare
It controls your
mind as you lay unaware
Hell performs the
devil’s work,
and acts with no
remorse
It takes you
down a frightful path –
An eerie Shaitan’s
course
Hell’s venom
runs throughout your veins
It marks your
soul with lethal stains
There’s nowhere
to run; There’s nowhere to hide
Hell is cunning,
vulgar; and filled with pride
You are
powerless over this entity
When all you
need do is to set “Hell” free
Wake up! Be
quick! Open your eyes!
Turn away from Hell’s
stare
and its
nefarious lies
Hell is a choice
you don’t have to make
Be the warrior
that you are
Choose well – you’re
awake!
