Journey into Hell

The horrors of this evil place,
Are far too bad to tell.
A land where manic thoughts prevail,
Where being is pure hell.

I have to make the journey,
Though it terrifies my mind.
To help poor souls who have got lost,
Their one true way to find.

When drowning in a cesspit,
They need strength to pull them out.
Their soul’s are lost ‘before they leave’,
Minds filled with fear and doubt.

But only those who want to,
Can I help ‘their way’ to find.
The victim of another’s deed,
That made them lose their mind.

To rescue folk who have got lost,
Is not an easy task.
My struggle is within their soul,
Believing’s all I ask.

But if they finally follow,
To their friends, who walk with me.
The joy, I know, that they’ll behold,
Will set their spirit free.

No, …I do not like the journey,
It leaves scars upon my soul.
But my destiny’s their bidding,
And I help to make them whole.

I am strong and I am able,
Alas, all are not so sure.
But to help another person,
Is what all our lives are for.

Please be careful where you wander,
There’s a place you should not go.
And I’d hate to have to get you,
From the realms of Hell below.

Ivor G Davies

The moment created this second, is a  moment that's going to last.
It lives the full spectrum of time, the future, the present and past.

Ivor,
Hell to me is a self impose
And only it can thumb its nose.

I liked this verse especially

Thank you both for your comments, strange as it may seem to some, this poem was based on actual experience...
