Devilish Demons of Evil

Past demons can find a way
Of darkening a sunny day
Leading you through a bad door
You once closed and locked before
Never walking past the threshold
That once turned you bitter cold
From things on the other side
That you've been trying to hide
From new family and good friends
Hoping it would be the end
Of this evil that can take
The strongest man and make him break
Enticing you with drugs and drink
Gambling and other things
Turning your world into horror
These demons have all the power
Taking over every aspect
Of a life you tried to fix
Never leaving you to rest
Every day they try and test
All your will power and strength
You just want to beat and win
These vices that are dark and evil
Haunting you until you feel
Your urges can't be controlled
But be strong and do not fold
You can make it and defeat
This devil always at your feet

A very emotive piece. Us men always try to battle our demons alone. I have found allowing Jesus to fight for me has made this battle far easier.

Evil forces don't always have to have tangible substance. Good descriptive write here.
