Righteous Life Poem by Electric Tripp

Originally posted in 2008, however some issues occured and all my poetry was deleted, however I had a copy of it stored and am reposting it now

I wanna go away and do what i wanna do
I wanna get up Sunday morning and go to church
I wanna praise God and the son everyday of my life
and I wanna live a righteous life

But this demon wont let me go
I cant get out of his claws
and forced to dance in his show
so everyone can see my flaws

This damn demon wont get off my back
His claws digging under my skin
He wont cut me any slack
I suppose it fits for my sin

I wanna go and praise the lord all my life
I wanna go and live my life the right way
I wanna go and live my life for the one who died
Because I wanna live a righteous life

But this demon wont set me free
I can't get away from him
after all how do i get away from me
a future thats so grim

someone living in me
something controlling me
someone pulling my strings
someone controlling me
someone outside controlling me
Someone outside and its not me

He's the demon that wont let me go
I cant get out of his claws
and I'm forced to dance in his show
so everyone can see my flaws

This damn demon wont get off my back
His claws deeper under my skin
He wont cut me any slack
I suppose it fits my sin

Cause this demon wont set me free
I can't get away from him
after all how do i get away from me
a future thats so grim

I wanna go away and do what i wanna do
I wanna get up Sunday morning and go to church
I wanna praise God and the son everyday of my life
and I wanna live a righteous life

I wanna go and praise the lord all my life
I wanna go and live my life the right way
I wanna go and live my life for the one who died
Because I wanna live a righteous life
