I'm The Devil

I'm the Devil, yet I'm also God; looking within, I find myself there. Cringing behind belief's facade; I'm all alone, and it feels unfair. Evil dwells within my darkest parts; my ego always places me first. But goodness thrives in my heart of hearts; I am the best, and I am the worst. Defining good and defining bad; I'm both free and a religious slave. And my mortality leaves me sad; questioning what lies beyond the grave. I'm both the beginning and the end; a mix of sinner and contrition. A reality fantasy blend; I am hope, and I am derision.

So true...we cannot have the good without the bad. We all too often, forget that.
