Evil resides in the trenches of my heart
Lurking in the dark like a thief in the night
Waiting to devour anything on sight.
Evil resides in the depths of eyes
A gentle fire willing to consume
The souls of men in a twinkle of an eye
Evil resides on the tip of my tongue
Eager to destroy everything I behold
No one will be spared, not even myself.
Evil resides in this body of mine.
Love is the least compatible thing with evil. It brings the best part of us and rescinds that which is dark and ugly to the depths of the heart, nevertheless, they live, eating bits of our soul; waiting for the perfect opportunity to be unleashed. In that perfect and vulnerable moment, we assume the face of the many demons within.
There are darker demons than violence. They haunt and kill slowly but surely; they do not forget or relent; they are depraved and mundane; they come out in a flash and ravish everything on their part without a care in the world. These are the demons I possess.
I know my demons; my demons know me. We do not play pretend; we know our boundaries and abide by our rules of engagement. We do not invite trouble but don't mind entertaining it. As long as trouble can dance to the tune of fire and despair with unwavering vigour (because this tango is forever), we are willing to twist and turn in excruciating pain to savour the moment.
Evil resides in the depth of our hearts. We do not know to what extent our demons would go because we hardly know them anymore. I have seen flashes of my demons and they scare even me. So I proceed with caution. I do not engage my demons because they do not play fair. It is their will over mine.
This is the fate of every dangerous man who chooses good over evil. He is reminded of his true nature but chooses to walk in the path of light. For how long? who knows. If there be any certainty, it would only be the evil that lies within.
The last line.. hehe
Well I lean more towards the certainty that good lies within everyone and evil is the parasite.
Our true nature is love, our true being is human.
"The heart of a man is desperately wicked"
Jeremiah 17:9
I think we are predisposed to evil and goodness is a virtue we all aspire for and requires effort. People are bad effortless but when it comes to doing good they struggle.
There is always too approach to anything,the good part and the evil part,this world is more negative that positive,we can choose to be good even when the world is negative
I don't know if finding a balance applies to this situation but I think being good without any trace of evil makes one gullible. You need to know when to displace the side needed.
It is easier to let the demons rule than to fight them. The strongest of men choose to fight those demons daily.
Agreed. And sometimes it is important to let people know this other side of you, so you are not taken for granted.
Setting boundaries is what will prevent people from taking you for granted. Showing them your evil side may not necessarily do that.
Isn't that true. Loved what yoh wrote!
