what if hell isn't a place
what if hell
is those many myriad horrible
things i've seen and read and heard and done
on purpose or by accident
those things done to me
on purpose
what if it's those awful memories
i can't forget
lurking mostly, rising sometimes
to tantalize, to torture
to tease of things to come

what if hell isn't a place
but it's a place
inside my mind i can't escape
a place i've created through my life
what if the horror
that taunts me
has no hope, or chance, of relief
what if i'm going to hell
and this is the preview
what if i'm already there
