Oh that harsh devil within. Will 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 perfect. You drive your aspirations deep within my soul. And there I rest, the monster having its way, playing around within me like a wrecking ball. You exist in all of my doubt about life and tear me apart the more that I try and run from you.
But I am going to fight no longer, only to eagerly 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 the battle that created your strength. Like quicksand I sunk the more that I moved. But like I said before, I embrace the darkness now.
Things have changed. I will see now that darkness can deliver light. There isn't any fear in this heart anymore in regards to you showing up. Why? Because you are here...right here deep inside of me. Not walled out from me any longer. Not pushed away. Just here with me. Present. Really present.
I really am completely mindful of what you now are and who you turned me into. I'm not attempting to fool anyone anymore by showing them a grin on my face. No, I'll just be myself. So I tip my cap to you to all of the times you cut me down. Now, let's take a hike and work this thing out. I would like to hear what you say about all of the years of the past. How proud are you? How much fun did you have? Are you pleased with your accomplishments? Maybe... I will be able to even clap to your success?
But we are moving on and this is the birth of a long relationship. I'm going to start talking with you for the first time. But now, my life choices are based on light. It is time to begin living my life and make the best decisions I can. But I know I must talk with you...oh demon within. You can show me a trail that absolutely is worth exploring in of its own. You can show me places I have always been frightened to go. But to ignore you further would be out of idiocy. Foolishness. Fear.
So let's take a hike. I'd like to hear what you have to say.
