Have you ever seen evil encapsulated in the flesh,
I’ve lived with it which is one of my biggest regrets,
see it overtakes the soul,
slowly devours you and you can’t figure out why you no longer feel whole,
don’t mistake it for someone who claims a person is the devil or a demon,
pure evil is so deceiving,
the immediate or long-term joy you feel is misleading,
they’ll sink their teeth in you,
preventing you from leaving,
and when you’re gone,
free and moved on,
they’ll haunt you,
from dawn until dawn,
find ways to make you doubt yourself,
they’ll play the victim,
hoping you’ll out yourself,
see a devil has an endpoint,
a goal they’re trying to reach,
pure evil though, wants you to suffer,
find ways to bring you to your knees,
evil knows how to manipulate the surroundings that most rarely sees,
mix opinions from strangers and loved ones confuse the situation,
they can flip-flop down the road,
which leads to more complications,
in turn, it’ll make you question your sanity,
gaslight yourself so much that every other word is profanity,
you romanticize the worst moments,
take the blame for what you could’ve done better,
evil enjoys these times, knowing that they’ll never have to own it,
they get coddled by the ignorant from transgressions they’ve caused,
while you’re thrown under the bus as they share your flaws,
it makes you question if evil has infected everyone around you,
Gasping for air as it feels like your world is trying to drown you,
When will it really end,
Second guessing everyone as you don’t know who’s enemy or friend,
Death and suffering can’t be the only option,
Climbing out of something you’ve been lost in,
Are the glowing eyes in your reflections yours,
Or the thing that’s been haunting you,
Reminding you that you could never escape because this is the 1st of many tragic wars.
