Fighting My Satan Poem by Mohammad Younus

Fighting My Satan

Sometimes I seem to be normal outwardly,
It doesn't mean that I feel better' inwardly;
Sometimes the voices of my Satan overpower me,
Sometimes, I follow the calls of my soul,
Sometimes, satanic thoughts stir my mind,
Sometimes, I control the snakes in my mind;
Inside the closet of my tumultuous mind...
I partake in the battle between Adam and Satan,
Horror movie scenes play out there,
In the winding streets of my mind;
But I don't flinch, rather, I just stare;
Don't doubt my ability to win the battle,
On a daily basis, I am fighting my Satan,
I go on inflicting pain upon my Satan,
I am feeling better as I subdue my Satan,
‘Feeling better' must not mislead you to believe...
That I have been able to kill my Satan,
It simply means He has gone on a Holiday,
Rather, ‘feeling better' means that I realise...
The battle between Adam and Satan never ends,
It continues till one breathes his last.
