Revisiting my thoughts: Poem from within [Vol 4] *RE-EDITS IN PROGRESS*

The Devil's tango

Stop it, Devil.

You haven't won

And I won't let you win.

But I gotta stop acting

Like you have.

I can't give in.

Even when it's so easy to quit.

It's so easy

To cry all the way home.

It's so easy

To go back to

What was known as comfort

And bask in its familiarity.

Maybe its best

To just take some time.

Hoping that time would wait

And allow me to pace my race.

But, in reality,

Time don't give a s***.

Neither does reality.

Them b****** come swinging in

With an uppercut

That'll throw you beyond the stars.

Then, lay your a** in the grass.

Devil, you haven't won,

But I need to stop acting like I lost.

You're tempting me with those thoughts again.

Leading me to that big black door.

I don't need to open it again.

I'm choosing the light.

I'm choosing to fight you.

Each time.

Even with my small faith,

God still wins me over.

Each time.

Devil, you tremble at my resilience.

You've never seen me so strong.

Not even your darkest, strongest soldier can take me on.

One look at me and he's ready to fall.

And you?

You'll stand there waiting for another moment.

I'll make sure you fail

Each and every time.

As I breathe in your black smoke

And exhaling hope.
