Hell is...

[aleus]

I wrote a poem a couple of years ago which I would like to share with you all. It's based on my life experiences and the ongoing struggle with schizophrenia which I have suffered from for the last eight years of my life. I hope you like it. Let me know what you think.



"Hell is her smile
The tears in her eyes
As she says goodbye for the final time
Knowing that her life will come to an end that very night
Hell is a promise
Made in the eyes of a dying man
To a son that will never quite be
The man that he had always seen
Hell is one look
At a child destined to never see the light of day
Who holds no future
Who is dead before she is even born
Hell is a love
That could drive a person insane
Only to be taken away
By a single act of rape
Hell is a vision
The inside of a persons mind
One we all make for ourselves
But few will ever see
Hell is the voices
A reflection of darkness
A mind twisted by fate
The death of a love so great
Hell is the delusion
Of a world so dead
Of those once great
A mind that’s fled
Hell is a broken heart
A mask that smiles
Whilst underneath it only cries
A failure in everyone’s eyes
Hell is a life
Marked by destruction
So devoid of happiness
That one can only hope but die
Hell is a suicide
A worthless waste
Of a person who once loved
But could only ever lose
Hell is a place
That my soul
Was never supposed to find"

I can feel the underlying pain in the words.
It's a very emotionally vivid poem.
