Oh that devil inside of me. Do you make yourself known? When the switch flips south and light exits the room you attack my thoughts without mercy. Your resolve and will is destructive. You drive your ambitions deep into my soul. And there I rest, the monster within playing around within me like a wrecking ball. You exist in all of my doubt about life and tear me apart the more I attempt to run from you.
But I am going to fight no longer, only to warmly embrace your presence. Does this baffle you? Does this make you weep at the thought of the grip you once had that exists no longer? You held onto me so powerful and so tight due to my incapability to see that it was the battle that created your strength. Like quicksand I sunk the more I moved. But like I claimed before, I embrace the darkness now.
Things have changed. I'll see now that darkness can deliver light. There's no fear in this heart anymore with reference to you showing up. Why? Because you are here...right here within me. Not walled out from me any more. Not pushed away. Just here with me. Present. Actually present.
I am truly mindful of what you really are and who you turned me into. No, I'm not making an attempt to fool anybody any more by showing them a grin on my face. No, I should just be myself. So I tip my cap to you to all the times you cut me down. Now, let's take a hike and work this thing out. I want to hear what you would like to say about all the years of the past. How proud are you? How much fun did you have? Are you proud of your success? Maybe... I can even clap to your success?
But we are moving on and this is the start of a long relationship. I'm going to start talking with you for the 1st time. But now, my decisions are based on light. It's time to begin to live my life and make the best decisions I am able to. But I know that I must consult with you...oh harsh devil within. You can show me an untraveled path that's worth exploring in of its own. You can show me places I have always been scared to go. But to ignore you further would be out of ignorance. Foolishness. Fear.
So let's take a walk. I'd like to hear what you've got to say.
