Diabolically Yours
Some point out malevolence
The dark detailing of my mind
Say I am prone to violence
And proffer only lies that bind
But I am, by nature, lacking care
Concerning those who defame me
I note those inclined to stare
All cretins far as I can see
I might be a wicked man
But I offer you my guiding hand
I may lead you, when I can,
Where plots are hatched, then fully planned.

The workings of the mind can be unexplainable...we try but forces can bring us into a different realm

Very true. Fortunately, my days of diabolism are long past. I think of them now, and quail. Thank you, JusTim!

Thank you LilDragonFly. If you don't face your shadows, particularly those from a wayward past, they overtake you. Can't have that.

I've had a diabolical past that I wish I could live down. I'm working on it. Thank you for the comment and RL entry, Dave!

I think we all have this inner struggle between, for lack of better words "good vs. bad". I know I certainly do so I enjoyed reading this. These lines especially:
"I might be a wicked man
But I offer you my guiding hand
I may lead you, when I can,
Where plots are hatched, then fully planned"

You are a very good man. Who says different doesn't know what the hell they're on about.
Thank you J. I like to think my actions prove benevolent. It's my thoughts that are dark and retributive. And thanks for the inclusion in your reading list. You honor me.

I have a hard time believing you do anything but this "offer you my guiding hand
I may lead you, when I can"
....but I give you credit for facing that demon. Another damn good write!! On the list...

And that demon often looks back with some appetite for my soul. Thank you Pandora, for the comment and inclusion in your reading list.
