That Little Devil Within

By Evan Sanders


I hear you little devil within.

Oh that little devil can you make yourself known? Can you show yourself for what you truly are? I know you're there because you try time and time again to ruin my thoughts. You attempt to break me with your awful intentions and challenge me every single day when the lights cut out.

I won't fight any longer. I'm going to embrace you.

Does it confuse you that I'm not going to fight you anymore? Does it worry you that I'm going to start embracing you with a gentle touch instead of trying to block you out? I now know that if I look directly into you without trying to block you out that I'll will win this war with you once and for all.

A lot has changed.

I'll see now that darkness can deliver light. There isn't any fear in this heart anymore. I do not fear you showing up into my world. 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.

You did some serious damage to me in my old life. But now, I have taken control of who I am. I've taken control of how I'm going to respond to all of your ridiculous questioning, demands, and negativity. You owned me from time to time, but now it's time for me to show compassion towards you.

You should be proud of your run. You should be proud of all that you did to me. You had your day, but now this day is mine.

This is the beginning of something new for you and me. So let's go for a walk because I would like to hear your perspective. Let me hear you roar and quietly respond to you. You're not used to that are you? Of course not. Oh you little devil inside, I have changed so much. No more foolishness. No more fear of you.

Let's talk.
