My Evil Demon

There's an evil demon lurking On the edges of my soul I try my best to push him off He's stubborn, very bold He tries to sway my thinking And how I look at things I tell him, “Take a hike! Get lost, you ding-a-ling!” He never seems to listen He insists on causing trouble Says it's his only role in life I'm about to burst his bubble Demons don't tell me what to do Don't need these guys to coach My standards are extremely high My actions beyond reproach There's an evil demon lurking On the edges of my soul But this here dude's not worried I'm the guy who's in control!

I skipped up a little from reading on your list to take a look at this one, and of course, was not disappointed at the least. Another awesome poem!! I find it really cute, but it also speaks of your strong and vital character. It takes great great courage and strength to conquer demons that seek control over our lives. "But this here dude's not worried I'm the guy who's in control!" Of course you're not worried! You're the man! Always, Laura
