The Devil Inside Me! Poem by Raouf Reda

The voice of Devil inside of my mind

I hear the screams that made me blind
Blind to see that life is going to an end
Then I dragged my self to be left behind

No one is left – they are hanging around

So full of regret, SO Depressed

Candles inside, they stoke the fire

Never have I sensed a deep desire



Candles they burn - they're stoking my hate

They just burn and burn - like this is my fate

The pain won't go - all I do is shouting

I'll hate myself till these candles burn my soul



The poison of fear - the horrors of pain

There is nothing left that's keeping me sane

Forgotten love - I only know hate

And I feel so lost in my mindless state

I'm breaking down and losing control

Candles are burning – crashing my soul

Candles they burn - memories of doubt
