I stand before the gates of hell,
tormented, afraid and weak,
fearful of my fate.

How do I abandon my dreams of heaven,
when there is so much foolishness and
idle wasting of time.
This can't be true- though I have
known it all along-
My time is up.

And it's time to pay for my mistakes.
Is this life not mine anymore?
I just thought I could go along and play the game-
But the day of judgement is here before me.
My sins read like a book.

Now that is enough!
Stop this madness!
I do not believe in any of this.

Just turn around...it's not my time.
There is so much work left to be done.
I do have a life worth living.

By turning around, I walk away.
I walk back into my sacred life.
I am safe for now....
I am sane for now....
