Purgatory Poem by Richard D Remler

Purgatory



.......



I exist in a maddening
Hell of a hole.
Don't tell me I'm crazy.
I already know.
Don't share any lies,
I've no desire to play,
When your voice only echoes
The nonsense you say.
My thoughts, every dream,
Oh how wicked they scream!
With venom, they hiss
In this foul abyss-
Wretched and raw,
How they make my skin crawl.
And I mock your simpleness.
For this here is no park.
Your voice thuds an empty
Sting into my dark.
And I've no time for fools.
Nor the games that they play.
And this hell is my own,
So please do
Go away!
