The Devil

A plague affecting both men and women in our modern society. Anorexia, Bulimia, self-harm, etc. have proved to be demons in my life and I am on a mission to exploit them, for cathartic reasons.

I’m drizzled on the food you eat,

Proud owner of your intrusive thoughts

those nights you can’t sleep.

I’m am the jeans that pinch your thighs;

I’m the prick stabbing your aching, shallow mind.

 

Dragging my serrated nails like a child drags a stick on a fence;

I bellow threats of abandonment and pain

While whispering chants of insanity.

“Do your heart strings break from my monumental strain?”

 

Let’s find the source of your happiness,

so I can pick it apart like a vulture.

Oh, and don’t worry,

I will never leave you,

darling,

I live inside your head.

We have an eternity to play

‘Building-yourself-up’;

So I can knock you down again.

I hate the Devil! He is always screwing with my plans and head.
Well written

The devil has lived inside me for most of my teenage life, I'm glad you enjoyed this, it was very cathartic for me :)
Thanks!!

I have seen some truly possessed people. I know true evil exists. But I manage to stay strong against it :)

It's all an illusion but it has the power to bring people to their knees. Good for you, keep him away!
