God gave a task to the humans, he who worships shall be rewarded. And for that I was punished.
For I have sinned, a sinner in nature. You who mock and laugh, for my pain you have not endured, and for I who have sinned shall bring you all down with me.
Lucifer is the name, and I am the one who shall rule. Yet god had other plans, and in the end only I was a fool.
Michael, my dear brother he had sent. To converse with me and to give god’s judgement he was bent.
“Go down with me, to hell we shall go. In the journey you’ll need to atone, and all your sins you’ll need to forgo. “
Michael was the first, he was god’s favourite. A seat which was once mine, but now he’s the one to savour it.
“Your first sin, disobedience which brought us shame. For the upcoming torture and fate, you only have yourself to blame” is what my dear brother had said.
His word’s were in my head, and I had to obey. Otherwise god would strike me, and this body of mine would decay.
Let me down a stair, Michael had watched. As I entered the first floor of hell, I knew fate had come to wrought.
Michael vanished, my brother now no more. Left in these lonely walls of a cave, was a task I couldn’t ignore.
Endured for a thousand years, alone and without hope. For limbo was the first trial, and what I faced was a slippery slope.
No one came for me, for millennia’s on end. Lonely and broken, no one to call my friend.
Then light had shown bright, I recognised it as god’s brilliant sun. After all the time I had spent, I was hopeful that help had finally come.
It was Uriel who had came, bringer of god’s justice was his name.
He held god’s fire in his hand, and he answered to god’s every demand.
His fire would burn away everything in sight, be it believer or sinner, all would perish in front of its might.
Uriel looked at me in disgust, “down you go” he said. For the first time fear had started to seep into my head.
Down to the second we had went, lust was next on this journey of descent.
Temptation surrounded me as Uriel had left, no help no signs as my purity was in theft.
Endured and endured I did for the time I had spent was short, my body no longer mine, disgust filled me as It was contort.
Used and used again, for I was now an object for them to play with. Reaching out for help once again, yet no help came as my body for my sins was paid with.
Down all the layers I went, in glutton And greed years I had spent.
Each time an angel had descended, my world would change. Years would pass and my sanity I’d exchange. For a chance to stay alive I had given up my mind, and even still that chance was super hard to find.

In anger and heresy the most time I had spent. Rage building up inside of me and a change I had underwent.
No more of the calm and collected Lucifer had stayed, and from my original path I had finally strayed.
Hersey had broken me down, and Violence had healed me only to tear me again.
The rage I had pent up was finally released, after that my hope had For the first time increased.
Yet I was then faced with fraud and treachery, the words themselves had brought up in my head every unwanted memory.
After Descending down every step of hell I had Finally finished my journey. Yet a ladder underneath was there waiting for me.
Taking a single step I started to fall, down an unknown abyss I had begun to sprawl.
Yet my fall they broke down, with their wings hugging me firmly I had started to drown.
Looking up at their face, an angel had been sent one last time. So beautiful and magnificent on their head they wore a crown.
Yet their image got distorted and for my Fear had struck, hatred consumed me and their feathers i started to pluck.
Conditioned by my past to believe, that every angel wants my wings to cleave.
Running away I started to fall again, yet with their gentle embrace they held me once again.
Looking up to them I had calmed down a little. Could it be that they didn’t come for my fate to belittle ?
Swiftly up the abyss they flew, with me in their arms all my fears they slew.
Back to treachery we went, they put me down and for once, of ascension I had dreamt.
Looked at their face trying to figure out it’s feature’s , yet all I saw was the light of something that was more beautiful than all of God’s creatures.
The angel gently looked at me, and into their arms I had been embraced. Patted me on the head and told me I wouldn’t ever be replaced.
Hearing their heartbeat I knew they were vulnerable, for a second I was tempted to strike but in their arms I was comfortable.
When we went up the next layer, fraud was simple, for I didn’t suffer much here.
But then to violence we went, my memory started to shake and my hands for their actions I had started to lament.
My discomfort the angel had sensed, and when I saw them raising their hands against me all my nerves had tensed.
Their hand on my head were placed, When they told me all of us made mistakes my heart had raced.
For once an angel had actually acted their part, and for the first time I could feel a beating in my heart.
Up to heresy we ascended, while dreading my memories my body was suspended.
And so through each circle we had went, my body and soul were mended. By the angel’s affection and support , my time in hell had finally ended.
So up to purgatory we had gone, I found myself gazing at their beauty and in their light I’d fawn.
From my insecurities and woes I had escaped, a new reality where I’d be happy was now shaped.
This hand of mine to them I had extended, confessing my love to the angel that was what I had intended.
But the angel looked at me with pity in their eyes, telling me they can’t be with me such an unfortunate surprise.
Yet fear this time ran not to my brain, my courage was now strong. a smile was drawn on my face one again, because I’d get to be with them in heaven And tag along.
So up in the sky we both had resided, basking in eternity for all its blessing. But the idea of finding out who was the angel, was something I had always been assessing.
In a pond filled with fish of Khoii, I saw them kneeling down. And when I asked them the question suddenly the angel started to frown.
“My old identity is naught, for I was before just like you. A devil who was thrown in hell, but now I shine anew. Up to heaven I had came and seen your crimson light, of your suffering I had witnessed, through all your hardships and all your blight. So a spark in my heart was created, seeing you try to repent. And I wondered about my actions, was my time truly well spent? So down to hell I had came and you falling I had seen, my instinct was to help you, but being attached to you was something I hadn’t foreseen. Just like a stray you clung to me with all your might, you claimed that you were dark but all I saw emanating from you was light.”
So me and the angel in heaven we begun to reside, In front of Michael and Uriel, in front of all my brothers we had nothing to hide.
And so life truly became happy once I had understand, that from the start, this “Miracle” was something that god had always planned.
