Image for the poem the devil you don

the devil you don't know

 
rotating on the axis of oblivion
flows the river of knowledge
into my soul's heart
I awaken to the truth
my heart quickens and my spirit stirs

restless I squirm needlessly inside myself
you're beautiful I hear the angels sing
it hurts to realize I've been here all the time in pain
right here just under the surface

delicate wearing these hateful personalities to fit in
until one day I became them instead of me
the demons glory they took control
somewhere I got lost inside

I saw hell first hand it wasn't God who cast me in chains
but the devil I gloried who raise himself inside me
dragging me down into his pit
where he strangled my soul
proclaiming himself king

I will never forget...I will forever be changed
I tremble but show no fear
my fear would be seen as a weakness
instinctively I show none lest they eat me alive

scarred from the battle...I am here
I can still hear them
bring us back home
fighting to take back my sacred temple

glory be to the king my soul is still intact
they bit the body but marred not the spirit within
I am beautiful...

tears escape me I can cry again without fear
it's okay to be weak, meek, and humble of spirit
I am still stoically warrioring up
but the river is beginning to overflow with the reality of things
I am grateful for a fresh start

a warning don't dance with the devil
he hates you...even those who glorify him
