Devils on My Shoulder

I wonder if I'll ever believe in my own potential

Because my mind is simply too influential

With every right, there is a wrong

A weak thought surfaces whenever I feel strong

Having a little devil on each shoulder
Always hoped they would disappear as I got older

But their presence is still here
And deep down I know they will never disappear

How do you fight something that doesn't physically exist

Something that rises no matter how much you resist

Hearing a nonstop voice in my head

One that leaves no negativity unsaid

I always hear you, with everything I do
Making me believe everything you say is true

Discouraging and pessimistic
Fooling me into thinking it's realistic

But my hope remains that this voice in my head

Will one day turn my devils into angels instead

I really like your rhyme scheme in this one. I know this feeling all too well. I'm hoping my devils turn to angels one day too. Great work with this.
