They try so hard... the devils
Spit in your eye invisibly
Kill you sometimes physically
If you live, they still try, kill
your life, make you cry till,
It becomes a chore
To get up each day
Keep score
Train the spirit 
To ignore
Those human looking things
that walk the paths outside
That door... I used to
think
That heaven was full of
angels, but no
Hell is everywhere, above,
around, below...snarling and
raging
Raring to go, and
It looks just like us

It becomes a chore
To get up each day

Wow Marion it's a brilliant powerful write. I like those lines pointed out by fish too. I can see where this one is coming from. From all the evil people you have wrote about in other poems.

dead song in a bird

drain the yellow

All you got is cold day grey

Or the pinkish blush...
