Visions of Hell
... Shirley 9/8/01

Thoughts in my mind collide
Twisting, circling, unrelenting.
Wondering if they will ever subside
And if I am a victim unconsenting.

Praying to obtain peacefulness
Looking inward, outward, upward, downward
If only the thoughts would desist
Serenity would be my just reward

And my cowardice too great to seek the truth
Aware the seeds I've sown are mine to reap
Not only to others but to myself uncouth
Who, oh, who would want my soul to keep

Drowning in this ocean of misery
Unsure whether to fight to survive
Pondering the extent of my debauchery
With neverending thoughts of suicide

In death would I cease to exist
Void of thoughts and emptied mind?
Perhaps "hell" is when in death thoughts persist
With the inability to act on solutions I finally find.

The mere idea of torturous thoughts for eternity
And the realization that it is a step of no return
Quickly and safely usher me back to sanity
With an understanding tranquility is mine to earn.
