Oh That Little Devil Within

By Evan Sanders


Oh that devil inside.

Can you make yourself known? When the switch flips south and light exits the room you attack my thoughts without mercy. Your resolve and will is ideal. You drive your ambitions deep into my soul. And there I am, the monster inside playing around within me like a wrecking ball. You exist in all of my doubt about life and tear me apart the more I try to run from you.

I'm no longer going to fight.

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.

Things have changed.

I'll see now that darkness can deliver light. There isn't any fear in this heart anymore. I do not fear you showing up into my world. Why? Because you are here, right here within me. Not walled out from me any more. Not pushed away. Just here with me. Present. Actually present.

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.

How proud are you? How much fun did you have? Are you pleased with your accomplishments? Maybe I can even clap to your success?

We are stating something new together. We are going to go in a completely different direction than before. You had your time with me and now it's my time to run you. How am I going to do this? Well how about you just find out? But it's not going to be even close to the ways from before.

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