The Devil and I - Part Iii

I replied to the beast, “ We are done!” No longer will I be captive to your powder of numb thought and emotion. No longer will I need to have a special cup, cotton, and spoon next to those dirty syringes hidden in the vestment. I will no longer be waking up sick, scrunching in fits of pain and agony. I refuse to be pale and thin anymore from lack of sustenance. "O, Devil! I'm kicking you to the curb." Today is the day that I am starting a new story. I am turning my back on you, Morning Star! With swift pride, I stomp you back to your unholy glory where your pleasure is no longer my pain. Don't think I am sorry as I am awakened from misery. It is time now to find direction otherwise. Today, O Devil, I take back reign of this chaotic life mess I have created! Today I will be strong, as you have tormented me so long. No longer shall I be off track for today, I am taking my life back! Bursting free from these chains; I am on the way to conquering the flames!
