Purgatory

Awaken to an entity
Unknown to me
Stricken with fear
And disbelief
Paralyzing

Brilliant lights surrounding me
I cannot see
Peering into eternity

All consuming agony
Suffering
Confessing sorrow
Through misery
Death won't rescue me

Purgatory
Purify through punishment
All consuming
Process of self reflect
Excruciating
Transformation of the body
Becoming

.............. Ubiquitous
Devastating
Penance of the Gods
For preparing
Eternity

Judgment Pending
Suspended in an altered state
Still confessing
Regret made mandatory
Pain conforming
Confirming absolution
Relinquishing
A forced contrition
