That Little Devil Within

By Evan Sanders


Oh I hear you little devil inside.

Can 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 ideal. You drive your ambitions deep into my soul. And there I am, the monster inside playing around within me like a wrecking ball. You exist in all of my doubt about life and tear me apart the more I try to run from you.

I won't fight any longer. I'm going to embrace you.

I'm not going to fight you? Does this confuse you? Does this make you shake at the thought that I'm going to start to embrace you more than anything? I would be worried if I were you. I found out your greatest weakness. I found out that if I look directly into you that you lose all your power.

Things have changed.

Oh how my life has changed. Before I would have run from you time and time again. Now, I'm going to embrace you warmly and try to understand what you are looking to teach me. Sure you have an interesting way of trying to pass on lessons, but I will get creative myself.

I can now see all of the damage you did to me in the past. I can see that my hiding from you actually made you stronger. Now I'm going to take back all of my power and show you who is in control. Sure you are going to show up from time to time and try to control me but I'm willing to work this out with you. I'm willing to hear what you have to say and transform that into something good.

How proud are you? How much fun did you have? Are you pleased with your accomplishments? Maybe I can even clap to your success?

This is the beginning of something new for you and me. So let's go for a walk because I would like to hear your perspective. Let me hear you roar and quietly respond to you. You're not used to that are you? Of course not. Oh you little devil inside, I have changed so much. No more foolishness. No more fear of you.

So let's talk.
