Purifying myself

I arrived in hell smelling of formaldehyde, carrying my sins.

The Devil rejected me, there was no place for another sinner.

Helpless, I wandered aimlessly in the eternal gloom.

Time was meaningless, my flesh longed to decay.

Loneliness gripped me with invisible claws.

In a last effort, I clung to my best memories: my mother's face.

Determined to purify myself, I set fire to my body with my own trembling hands.

The flames danced consuming my sins.

When the last vestige turned to ashes, I scattered them to the wind with a last sigh.

My wandering essence vanished on the breeze, freed at last from earthly bonds.

Perhaps then, I would find the redemption I longed for.
