Seeking the Devil…Surrounded by Angels my skin transparent, No scars present, Positive presence flows through me like water, Constant spoiling of affection from my father. though there is an essence present that swallows my soul Making my body hollow. So I leave the safety of my home To seek the devil And take back what he has stolen… I used to bleed for days straight Until my body scarred over with a thin layer of skin to defend myself from sin. Nowadays my body feels like leather, I can no longer feel a feather. Trapped in my own creation of hell Stabbing myself repeatedly but it’s a thick shell. There is less and less blood to be spilled, The hollowness is rapidly becoming filled. I can sense the devil, he’s the coward that hides inside me, Whenever I’m alone he’s right beside me. He rears his ugly head, only when I’m vulnerable, Around the same time that God feels I’m inconsolable. Pleading all the time, don’t know if it’s to God or the other, The only time I talk to God anymore is through my mother. I hear the sirens of Gods angels screaming down the boulevard, Trying to take back what the devil created when he decides to pull the joker card. Magic tricks and evil pranks from his demons are all that we see, Only a few special actually see the devil exclusively. I find the devil waiting 4 me at the crossroads between heaven and hell, I’m sorry God, You can’t come this time, But please tell me you’ll be there. The Devil holds a goblet of wine and asks me to sip, I stand there paralyzed As the blood on my lower lip starts to drip
