EVIL

EVIL
By: Mark Edward Rom

Something lives deep inside me
Shunned and beaten
Buried under all my goodness
Every day it surfaces
And fights with my conscious

It tears away at my soul
And beats down on my righteousness
It eats away at my morals and values
And tries to decay the merciful hope
That God has given me

Everyday I fight with this
This feeling of distraction
I shouldn't let it win
But sometimes it overcomes me
Without warning, without a second thought

And when I do what it wants
It destroys a part of me
Steals a fragment of my decency
From the light side of my soul
It taints the purity of my existence
And creates many sorrows in my life

Why do I give in!?
Why can't I always win?
Why does this torture me everyday?
How do I control what is wild and boundless?
How do I deal with something that has no rules?

This thing brings loneliness
Brings out only hate and disgust
It causes confusion and resentment
Cause people to seek vengeance
For the wrong purpose
And causes me to fall...

I've overcome it once before
But once is not enough
Because it ends up attacking me again
Beating on me endlessly
So how do I resist it?

It tortures me everyday
Whether I have defeated it or not
And even my own body has been known to rebel against me
Sometimes my hope is the only thing that keeps me sane
And my consist belief that God will help me

This is the worst of the worst
And nothing compares to it
There is something more powerful
But even still it exist
This thing is more horrid then Death

Death is in between
And good is it's only opponent
The fight is never ending
With chaos as it’s only ally
Many are lost to the infinite darkness

But I don't want to be one of those people
Who have given up and now are lost
That Won't Be Me I Tell You!
For I Will Never Surrender!
I shall win in the end, when it counts the most!

As God as my Advocate
And my soul by my side
With you here to witness
Evil will never prevail!
Not while I'm still alive
