I guess everyone has their own definition of hell on earth
But to live it, well that's a different story
I wasn't always like this, no not from birth
Once I was happy here, so full of glee.

But what would you do if your body failed you?
Your mind telling you one thing, but physically your body can't comply,
I am sure you would be frustrated, sad, and blue.
I am sure you would always question as to why.

Inside a body, that once did as you wished
Doing the things, all abled bodied people do
But now my body does what it wishes
Even though my mind desires something different, my body has no clue.

My hell on earth is this, a body that won't comply
One that used to run and play, but because of a stroke
Even though I know the answer, at times I still question why
At a young age, this devil inside of me was provoked.

This thing depriving me of ever being able to have a child of my own
Leaving my arms and my heart aching, for things most would take for granted
If I was destined to suffer in this life for the seeds I have sewn
I have suffered beyond belief, from the seeds I have planted.

Each person's hell, I guess is what they make it
Not being able to walk anymore or feeling my own child in my arms
My hell on earth, well for me this is it, this punishment, well I don't think it fits
But, I try to hold my head up, my heart not being cold, but accepting and warm.

Hello..

To be what you say,
A reality?!
who knows?!
Or,maybe in that day,
I have to browse
The other lands,
Of the imaginary?
Maybe i'll tell a story..
A small one...
Don't say "sorry"
In that life,
As if is all gone!..
Depressing moments,
Told in the poem,indeed,
Need some comments..
I think..that's what u need?!
Maybe,is the proper word,or..
Who knows?!
But you see,the little door
Is open..& the eyebrows
Of an old man,
Winking again,
Showd the same fun
That had it before..
Before..in his young times..
Looking at it how stands near the door,
U may see his eyes..
Still a child is,u see?
Have the same smile!...
U can stay and talk with it..
If u are agree..
U might remain a while..
Even if..just a lil' bit..
And the little story,
If u'll understand it,
U might have no worries,
After hearing it..
Was upon a time,
In this world,
In a small village,
A man..
Another line
On a paper,a word..
That man,had a name:
Octavian..
The painting of a house,small,
Wrecked,on the wall,
The remembrance of a little girl,
Holding a doll,
Makes the eyes of that man,to cry
And,wishing to die,
Cries,begs,but,its efforts,now,waisted,
Remembering the last times that he tasted
The voice..of his daughter..
She's dead now...she's gone..
"Where's my little daughter?"
He asks,still crying..
Nothing to be done...
"She was everything for me,
God!
Why You took it from me,
God?"
Crying again,
Stand that man,
Near the painting
Of his daughter..
With the little doll
In her hands,
She was standing
In the arms of her father..
Just near that door,
Where you stand now,
Listening my story,
Said the old man,
Crying again..
"Hey,don't worry!
Don't worry for me!
Better telling you who kept me alive!"
And saying these words,
The old man,
Octavian,
Brough another painting,
Representing another thing
And,saying to u,
One who have sorrow moments:
"Here it is the image of our Lord,
Look at Jesus that died on a cross
For us!
Pray to Him,when u have time,
Remember His Word..
Take water from an endless glass,
Cos that's the lore of all the lore..
Now,u know how i survived these years..
In my eyes,no more tears..
No more tears,were found,
Look at me! I can say it loud:
I live!"..

So,as about how much time,that old man lived,
My poem,its sealed..
If u have hard moments,sometimes,saying "hell on earth"
Better learn to smile everyday..
and who knows,one day..
u will say:
"I live..there's also parts of heaven here"..
