The Devil Within

Should I sell my soul to the devil?
I think I already have 
Every word that comes out of my mouth 
These past few years 
Has been filled with lies. 
Am I truly living I think not I sit back, 
And let time tick away on the clock. 
But all work and no play 
Makes Johnny a dull boy 
But who am I to define dull? 
Who is anyone to define dull at all? 
Or small, or people who are tall. 
We all say we are a judgement free zone 
But judgement plagues and aches are hearts. 
If we only look a little closer 
Past all our remarks 
But on the days we feel blue we act like savages 
Who are we to judge love?
 When love also judges us 
Love, is such a bust 
A sham, 
A myth,
 I wish love didn't exist! 
And on the days my heart feels cold and used 
I find that those are the days I catch myself thinking about you 
And all our broken hearts
I shall never believe in love again 
Because it always falls apart

A lot of really relatable feeling here. There is beauty in honesty, and this is full of it. -J
