my demon.

this is some fucked up s**t.

my demon
residing in me
cursed be thy strength.

spare only some
let evil be won

on earth
as it rages within me.

give me this night
our daily sin

and forgive insecurities.

as i punish those
who cut glances toward me

and lead me monster
into temptation

and coerce me into my evil.

amen.

for in sin
lies the kingdom
and power
and glory

for now.

excellent inversion of the old prayer.. the thing i love about this is - it's not talking about ooo scarybloodghostiesatangoats rambling around.. but about where the really scary REAL monsters are.. inside each of us. god help us all if anymore of us decide to unlock them..

Wow. This is the first time I've read anything from you. I would like to tell you that I'm giving you a 100 because I think you should stop whining about not being a top writer. You should just be given it. Why should we earn the stupid award? We're all top writers.
I'll read three tonight, maybe more if I'm lucky. But so far, I like what I'm reading.
This came in perfect time because the tone is evil and dark and I'm listening to the band A Perfect Circle. Ever heard of them? If not, go on YouTube and search Passive. good song.
Anways, back to the poem...
Dark tone, dark them, the flow is moderate, which I like because it wasn't a drag to finish. Good length. I enjoyed it.
One down, two more (at the least!) to go!

the malevolent seeds of the soul~ how you wrapped darkness in a lord's prayer is exceptionally electric~
