War Within

War Within

A Poem by Jeff

I hear your voice in my head

Whispering nasty little things

Into my thoughts

The closer I get to God

The worse the thoughts get


A war for my soul

A war within


The whispers of delivering evil

Disguised as temptations

Desires that I'd never have

If I get closer to God

The voice promises


A war for my soul

A war within

This happens to everyone, and what you write makes complete sense. The closer we get to God, the more the devil tries to lure us towards him. This is one piece I dearly respect. Great job.

Even Paul battled with the sinful nature. Romans 7. Your poem speaks about much the same subject. Good write.

We've all had to endure the war within and you've captured it perfectly in this very powerful piece. Great job!
