What If He Wins?

What if I give up?
What if I give in?
If I let him out
Who would win?
Surely not the Devil
Or can it be?
No bright light
But there's darkness in me
I tell him to stop
I beg for it to not,
Don't
Get out of my head
Or is it just my head?
Is it who I am?
Or something else
That resides
What if I stop fighting?
If I refuse to refuse
Does evil consume me
Or insanity?
It's clawing at me
It is me
Clawing
Trying not to let it out
What even is it?
Am I crazy?
No, that's not me
I am not crazy
Behavior is quite strange
On the edge of insanity
But I'm not insane
I can't be
What if I give in?
Will I be?
Talking to myself
Don't talk to him,
What if he wins?
