The Devil Within

I want to fit in.
But I can't.
Amongst the suns
I am the moon
I only shine in the darkness
Where the devil resides
Hides
Fights
Dies.
I push the devil
Down to my stomach
To make sure
I don't spit fire
And cause a wildfire amongst my loved ones
Whom I cling to
Yet cannot maintain
They're like balloons
I hold on but they will float away without me.

I blast music in my ears
To ignore
The devil screaming in my stomach.
