Oh That Little Devil Within

By Evan Sanders


I hear you little devil within.

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 won't fight any longer. I'm going to embrace you.

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.

This is the beginning of something new for you and me. So let's go for a walk because I would like to hear your perspective. Let me hear you roar and quietly respond to you. You're not used to that are you? Of course not. Oh you little devil inside, I have changed so much. No more foolishness. No more fear of you.

So let's talk.
