Poetry Time: Halfway To Heaven

Hello everyone, how are you all doing?
Back to share another poem I wrote. This one was written back when I was in school (high school or college, I forget). One day we were given a list of words we had to look up the definitions for so I took some of those and came up with this poem.
Kind of a darker poem too, I know. But most of you know that was my style back in the day. Would love to know what you think of the poem as always.
There goes my dedication
Lost amongst the translation
fixed on the sensation
and this is where we say goodbye
Tell me about your frustration
Swallowed by your own sedation
another fascinating fixation
and I know about all of your lies
You’re just a master in deviation
looking for your asphyxiation
within the tattered and torn nation
have you had your fix yet?
Torn apart in this revelation
to find yourself you must find salvation
Time to start a whole new renovation
make yourself feel no regret
You lost yourself in sweet temptation
it’s your life’s intoxication
where will you find your sweet medication
Halfway to Heaven or the gateway to Hell?
Put down all your false perception
can you feel this road’s foundation
Fall below and watch yourself fall for the duration
Who’s going to ring your bell?
So, when are going to ask for salvation?
It’s the only way to fix your direction
Hurry now, before death makes a reservation
to take you far from here.

@DianneN Well a lot of the time I am just too busy to write, and then when I have time nothing comes to mind lol. Maybe I should take my son's spelling list and use those words lol.

Sometimes darker just has more feeling.... and I could always write that better. Thanks, I just wish I had kept up with it.
