The Devil and Me

We all have our demons... some we crush under heel other.... stay along for the ride.....

Out here on the road..
carry a load.. should be lighter than it seems..
What people don't know..
what weighs down my load..
what people don't see...
is the constant battle..
a battle between the Devil and me.
Seen him at the bottom of a bottle...
on a headboard in a brothel..
on a battlefield where men bleed...
yes a battle... a constant battle between the Devil and me.
He stole my childhood..
taught me crying was of no good..
happiness for me would be hard to achieve..
quick to erase..any smile on my face..
that's what people don't see..
this battle..a constant battle..between the Devil and me.
So I stay out here alone..
carry this load...maybe one day lighter to me...
that will be the day..the day I win the battle.. the battle between the Devil and me.

Author's Note

It is my journey... wherever it may go....

Hi, there. I'm checking in on old friends. This a sad, yet strong write. It is hard to be haunted...many of us are. Those who truly care can sense it. Hope you are well. Let me know when you get back. I've been gone a long time...I am a bit haunted, too.
