The place I call HellA Poem by TaraThe sound of bells wake me Another day in the place I call Hell The tortured, weak groans of my fellow unfortunates Surround me Another day in the place I call Hell Working hard is not an option Working until you physically cannot push yourself further Is what they take pleasure in Another day in the place I call Hell You fall- You must get up You complain- You will never get up complain again You cry- Your tears will soon mingle with your blood You collapse- They will make sure you ne'er rise again The food we get is vile Next to impossible to digest But there is no option You must eat 'else you'll starve I see a lady fall Her friends try to get her up Before she is seen She rises But not before a whip Lashes across her back The whip breaks the skin The whip pulls back for another The blood flies off the end A drop lands- A drop lands on my lip I gasp The blood drips into my mouth The bitter, metallic taste Fogs my mind I spit The taste lingers Another day in the place I call Hell
