NUNQUAM MORIUNTUR

Yes,
I have already seen Hell.

So don’t you preach me anymore
on the subject of God.
Since God was never there for me
when I needed Him most.

He was never there also
for the children who believed in Him;
for the saints who lived for Him;
for the Romantics who dreamed of Him;
and for the warriors who died for Him.

I will never die
because I am already dead.
I have let my faith buried
in the Garden of Despair.
No one will find it there.
No one will know my heart is bare.

Yes,
I am already in Hell.

So don’t you preach me anymore
On the delights of Paradise.
Since Paradise was never meant to be mine.
God’s Light will only make me blind.

Label me as you wish.
Dajjal or Anti-Christ,
You have always wanted me
to be exorcised.
Only because I don’t like
what you like.
Only because I don’t exactly live
your life.
