Here I stand uncertain, terrified of the challenges I face from crimes of my past. Dazed and confused, illusions of a false reality take me over.
Fear, pain and rage consume my every thought. Temptation stronger now then every before. My fists tight, my heart throbbing. SO MUCH PAIN. I am weak ready to fold. There is no silver lining to a life lived in hell.
Crimes on the innocent, purity lost, doomed to live a life forever tainted. No justice served. My breath faint, my screams muffled. I reach, my grip to weak.
I no longer can stand on my own. Beaten I fall, my head lowered in shame. Not only do I pray you feel my shame I pray you feel my pain.

"Not only do I pray you feel my shame, I pray you feel my pain."
Fav lines. This was very nicely done. But I must add with some grammer and spelling mistakes. But I'm not perfect in that so I don't judge against that.
Brilliant write. -
This piece was very strong and powerful, some raw emotion. My favorite part was when you said " There is no silver lining to a life lived in hell."
Good luck in my contest, thanks for entering. -
Welcome to Allpoetry!
A nice take on the prompt given to you, I must say I did enjoy the second and third lines much more.
Try to prevent on using capital letters as it does become an eyesore among such lovely poetry.
Thank you for sharing and welcome to Allpoetry!
Take care and if you need anything please don't hesitate to ask.
Kind regards
