Satan Lives

in the darkest recess of my soul
he waits for me
to let down my guard

but
i will not
tonight

and this
upsets him

he gnaws at the back of my brain
and whispers devilishly into my left ear

"you don't need them," he says
"you are better than them"

i bitchslap him across the face and tell him to
shut the fuck up

call him whatever you like

Beelzebub
Prince of Darkness

i call him
Ego
