Inferno_Poem written by me.

Inferno. /Eng

Every room was a ring; every door, a circle drawn deeper. My bedroom was no refuge; it was the last. And it was never mine.

There are no demons—you were mistaken, Dante... My executioner is not Satan, but the voices that condemn me every day, the ones that scourge me through laughter, then fail to know me when I need them most.

I drift at the mercy of the tide, barefoot, alone. I must walk through the middle of the sea to find the answer that will finally set me free. Blue—hell is blue. Sorrow wrapped in a pair of sapphire eyes, fixed not upon sin, but upon guilt.

I wonder what that morning will smell like: spectral sulfur, or despair, while my feet are stained with the color of what they always believed to be the place where I have always lived: Hell.

Inferno. /Esp

Cada cuarto era un anillo; cada puerta, un círculo más profundo. Mi habitación no era refugio; era el último. Y ni siquiera era mía.

No hay demonios, erraste; Dante... Mi verdugo no es Satán, son las voces que a diario me condenan, las que me azotan entre risas y desconocen cuando se amerita.

Estoy a merced de la marea, descalzo, solo. He de caminar entre medio del mar para encontrar la respuesta que me va a liberar. Azul, el infierno es azul. Tristeza apañada con unos zarcos fijos, no en el pecado, sino en la culpa.

Me pregunto a qué olerá esa mañana: si al azufre espectral o al desespero, mientras mis pies se empañan del color de lo que creen que es el lugar donde siempre habité: infierno.
