Devils

Devils dont come from hell beneath us

They crawl from rooms within our mind 

Barred doors would be superfluous 

Shapeshifting thoughts... an epic bind 

We’re our own fiendish... nemesis  

Devils don’t come from hell beneath us

Lurk... in sanity’s crevices 

Cannibalistic... self-distrust 

Paranoia’s voice, quell we must! 

Anxiety’s chokehold release....

Devils don’t come from hell beneath us

Given power they’ll never cease 

So with self belief I’ll vanquish 

My demons, in myself I’ll trust 

All my doubt and fear relinquished 

Devils don’t come from hell.... beneath us!
