The Devil In Me

The Devil in me is not my friend
Although he does like to pretend

So sometimes he does hold court
And tries to take over my thoughts

I will though not let him be
Any single part of me
Although he does pester me

So Lucifer go back to your cell
Within your own fires of hell

And just leave me to be
My own self as I am not Thee
