That Little Devil Within

That Little Devil Within

By Evan Sanders


Oh that devil inside.

Oh that little devil can you make yourself known? Can you show yourself for what you truly are? I know you're there because you try time and time again to ruin my thoughts. You attempt to break me with your awful intentions and challenge me every single day when the lights cut out.

But I am going to fight no longer, only to warmly embrace your presence.

Does this confuse you? Does this make you weep at the thought of the grip you once had that exists no longer? You held onto me so strong and so tight due to my disability to see that the battle increased your strength. Like quicksand I sunk the more that I moved. But like I claimed before, I embrace the darkness now.

A lot has changed.

Oh how my life has changed. Before I would have run from you time and time again. Now, I'm going to embrace you warmly and try to understand what you are looking to teach me. Sure you have an interesting way of trying to pass on lessons, but I will get creative myself.

I am truly conscious of what you actually are and who you turned me into. I am not attempting to fool anyone anymore by showing them a grin on my face. No, I should just be myself. So I tip my cap to you for all of the times you cut me down. Now, let's take a hike and work this thing out. I would like to hear what you have to say about all the years of the past.

You should be proud of your run. You should be proud of all that you did to me. You had your day, but now this day is mine.

But we are moving on and this is the beginning of a long relationship. I am going to start chatting with you for the first time. But now, my choices are based on light. It is time to begin living my life and make the best decisions I can. But I know that I must check in with you...oh demon inside. You can show me a trail that's worth exploring in of its own. You can show me places I have always been afraid to go. But to ignore you further would be out of stupidity. Foolishness. Fear.

So let's go for a walk. I would like to hear what you have to say.
