The truth of Hell's flames

The truth of Hell's flames

A Poem by Troy Dean

The flames of hell do not burn me for their own pleasure
They burn to reveal the truth of me 
Behind my minds lies 
Behind my defences
These flames do not burn me, they cleanse me
Their pain is my shame
They blister my guilt
I have run from these flames too long
I have hidden from them in my own shadows
Now I surrender 
To their burn
To atone for the truth my hell reveals
To be worthy of myself
.
I welcome this hell
I welcome my flames
