Holier Than Thou

Demon possession is seen through spiritual eyes The clarity of it so transparent you see it with your eyes closed To be told you have them is like a dreaded disease The mere knowledge of it transforms you Questions pour in yearning for answers I am confused But I pray with you?…… I pray for you How do you see the evil in me? My prayers do not suffice to your standards? Am I raising my voice to the wrong god? Am I praying wrong? Show me the path oh ye of righteousness Are you the chosen one? Your abilities to spot the not amazes me Your purity petrifies me Knowledge of truth is embedded in your bones The depth of your understanding surpasses all Please do not dare lift your eyes towards me For fear you might be disgusted and go blind I wonder Do the others see the evil in me? Am I stumbling them? Am I making their pathway to righteousness narrow? I am confused I pray with you……I pray for you I am trying to be near you All you see is demons in me It is painful to hear you say that I am scared to pray What if… What if i…. I will gather the strength to look at you To see your holiness I am looking but… but…. I have heard of you before… Legion?
