s-s-s-tuck in limbo;
run away (if you can)
the skeletons are whistling the twisted nerve.
b-e-t-t-e-r go
while he's being m-e-r-c-i-f-u-l;
run down the halls, screaming 'bloody mary',
but don't let her catch you with her cleaver.
monsters are clever, dragging themselves around in human skin,
"the devil isn't a little red man with horns and a tail.
he can be beautiful;
he's a fallen angel and he was once god's favorite."
you won't be heard when you plead for help.
everyone else is either fending for themselves
or coming for you.

Overall Vision Originality Technique ImpactLine 1:
Capitalize the first 's'.
Line 2:
A comma would do better than the brackets.
Line 3:
It would do better to put a full-stop at the end of this line, rather than a comma.
Lines 4 and 5:
The fourth and fifth lines work better when combined.
Line 7:
When a person is speaking/screaming, we use double quotes.
Line 9:
I think you should put a full-stop at the end of this line.
Line 10:
When you use double quotes, you always capitalize the first letter.
Line 11:
The first letter should be capitalized as it starts as new sentence. A semi-colon would be better suited instead of a hyphen.
Line 13:
The first letter should be capitalized as it is the start of a new sentence. 'Plea' is a noun. The reader is performing an action in the line and so the word used should be a verb, i.e., 'plead', in this case.
Line 14:
The first letter should be capitalized as it is the start of a new sentence.

This is a pretty good poem. You have to work on your punctuation, though. Also, try breaking up your sentences more often. Pauses at the right instances make a work more readable and enjoyable.
