Evil Lurks

Evil lurks, not only in the shadows
It lurks in your soul
Splitting you 
Separating your whole being 
Pulling you limb from limb
But yeah, it’s just in your head
Don’t worry. It’s only on the inside
Wouldn’t want to burden anybody 
I’ll find a hobby
Distractions always work
If only for a short while,
There is bliss.
