The Devil Inside Me

When I am
Viewed as the devil
I begin to believe 
That I am the devil

I will start acting like the devil
I will give them probable cause  
To suspect me
To hate me
To fear me

I might be the devil
But I did not create myself

I cast internal damnation
Upon those who first
Casted it on me

At which point
The taste of revenge
Was a little too sweet
A little too addicting 

I wanted others
To feel my pain
I want to shame them
As I was shamed 

I want them to 
Feel bad for being 
Who they are
For being what 
They were meant to be

They twisted the string of destiny
And inserted me in the yarn
To always happen
To always be there
To be their "example"

Well now they are my
Example
And darling 
There just isn't 
Any mercy left in me
