Image for the poem Evil is my Master

Evil is my Master

When doing the right thing goes wrong
And being wrong was never right
This is the same old song
Singing it’s sad melody to me every night

Which way do I turn
When the only direction I see is down
From my sins I begin to burn
This fiery lake from which I’m left to drown

Not even a second thought
For the evil I have caused has shown to be too much
My shell of flesh has begun to rot
I no longer can feel my Creator’s touch

Why couldn’t I have more
I have been born cursed
I thought I had so much good in store
But I am hell and it is pain for which I have thirst

Come what May
I can no longer stand on my own
Let this be my last day
Allow me to reap what I have sewn

I’m too much of a coward to have been successful
I am a disaster
Stay away before I swallow your happiness whole
For evil is my master

My thoughts are erratic
My heart is desiccated
My life is traumatic
Death must be satiated
