My Angel and Devil
The devil on my shoulder
tells me to lash out on her
when she gets snappy with me.
And when she gets angry with me for caring.
The angel on my shoulder says
"Forgive her. Put down your guns."
I listen and forgive.
The devil on my shoulder
tells me to resort to self destruction when angry or sad
and take the rope that's in the bottom shelf
The angel on my shoulder says
"That would be selfish. Think of all the ones that love you."
I listen and yank my hands away.
The devil on my shoulder
tells me to let myself be tempted.
To give in the my selfish desires i've wished for so long
The angel on my shoulder says
"Resist!"
I listen and stop.
The devil on my right shoulder
tells me to be vicious, be destructive, fight!
when people hit me, talk bad about me.
The angel on my left shoulder say
" Turn the other cheek. You're the bigger person."
I listen and offer the other cheek gladly.
without even an evil glare back.
