Take Me Away Poem by JJ Evendon

Take me away, from what I've become.
Let me burn in a furnace as hot as the sun.
Let hail and rain fall from dark leaden skies.
Hold me down to drown and let me die.
Let lightening strike to leave nothing of me.
Let my spirit rise, and be set free.
No phoenix will be born from my unwanted soul,
for hell had pleasure taking it, a long time ago.
But though I was just a mortal being,
for me life always swung like a convict hanging.
One chapter is never enough to leave a mark.
Not when everything is seen through eyes of dark.
