  Your life will change after reading this story            Don't let me die you silly girl! Late in the winter of my nineteenth year, my mother decided I was depressed, presumably because I spent quite a lot of time in bed, ate infrequently, and devoted quite a bit of my abundant free time to thinking about death. Though I didn’t agree with her, deep down in my heart, I knew that I was becoming an empty soul. An inner voice from somewhere inside kept saying to me that I have deviated from the right path.

This whole sonnet is an intense prayer made by John Donne to purify his soul. He insists God to use harsh methods for bringing him back to his Creator as he knows that mild methods would not succeed with him. We always notice this fact that everyone among of us has a crystal clear image of the outcomes caused by following Satan. But still we choose to stay on the wrong path because of the temptations and attractions of this worldly life. Someone said it right hat your conscience is like a barking dog, it can not bite you but it keeps barking at you. Whene...
