As The Devil Dines Poem by Karly Jaye

To gain your respect I've done my best
To show I'm perfect
Show you I'm worth it
But I know I don't deserve it
I think I'm destined to be
Lying dead among the rest
So God rest my soul, even though I haven't died yet
My heart rots with sick thoughts
There's no world as savage as mine
The devil seeks out my soul and continues to dine
There's nothing left of me
Besides a pile of f*cked up attempts
To achieve something greater
Please, just put my coffin to rest
Let me lie amongst the serpents
As the devil continues to digest
Every rotten part of my heart
I know I've been broken from the start
Far along the way I dropped my pocket full of hope
But I'll continue to rummage
Through this pile of my attempts
And hold on to the shards of life
I haven't f*cked up just yet
