I Challenged death, I tempted fate
I renewed my faith just a little too late.
Breath escapes me with every gasp.
I run and run away from my past.
I cursed heaven and praised the devil,
My moral sunk to his level.
In one last moment I called for His help,
My soul was saved as the devil caved.
I Challenged death, I tempted fate
But to God I was never too late.

A very powerful piece, full of the darkness of reality but also a shining hope. I love the phrase "I tempted fate." I'm not sure about the changed rhyme scheme in lines 7 and 8 - it mucks up the flow a bit in my opinion. Overall, it is well rhymed.
Also, the dark blue is a little hard to read on grey.
Thanks for entering.
