TO CLEAR UP A MISCONCEPTION

Hell is not a place
Where you get in a hot tub with Kurt Cobain
And listen to your favorite Black Sabbath album
And everyone around you agrees
That God is a prick

Hell is a state of mind

It is:

Being beaten up in the playground
For just being you
Over and over again

Dashing to school
Knowing that you’re late
One time too many
And then finding out that there’s a test

Feeling the pressure of everyone around you
Telling you to do
What you promised yourself you would never do

Watching your dearest friends
Doing what you’ve always wanted to do
But never had the guts to do it

Hanging over a toilet bowl
Waiting for the sickness to leave
But it never does

…and many more

In short, Hell is not a place
It’s a state of mind
