How fragile weak have I become?
To open mind to he?
The devil who puts lives through hell
By setting evil fee

Their flooding thoughts consume me
All flowing through my brain
Thoughts like acid bite in deep
To drive me near insane

Voices echo, pound my head
As each one throws abuse
I try to block their constant yells
But find that it’s no use

Their words unite and join in strength
These thoughts that now are one
Which makes my mind cry out in pain
And from them want to run

But running will not help me
For from me I can not
I must decipher what is said
Before my soul does rot

So speak to me my nightmares
While devil plays his plot
I’ll search for strength, the strength I need
To lift this curse I’ve got

For freedom I’m in need of
With mind that flows with peace
I’ll work each day to conquer me
My devils then release

Wow!  I liked this one greatly!  You described it all so well. I think we all have been tried by the devil at one time or another.

Great read,

Thanks for your posting Mags, the devil seems to hold parts of us from one time or another, but again and again we struggle back, somehow.

Rick,
I like the balance
and subtlety of this.
You could've gone off the rails.
I'm glad y' didn't.
