Hell is not a place beneath the ground
it is the prison we build within our minds
brick by brick, forged from guilt, fear, and shame
an echo chamber of regrets
where we relive every mistake in looped eternity
tormented not by fire
but by memory
Purgatory is the lie we tell ourselves to cope
the quiet resignation that things will never change
that hope is a tease
and healing is for other people
it is willful stagnation
masquerading as safety
a waiting room with no door
Heaven is not a reward
but a revelation
it is the breath you take after deciding to let go
to forgive, to heal
to finally unshackle the chains you never realized you held
it is not gifted to us
it is built within us
We are each our own devil
sowing doubt, whispering discord
sabotaging every climb toward peace
and yet we can be our own savior too
if only we choose to believe we're worth saving
redemption begins the moment we stop waiting for a miracle
and become one ourselves
