Trial by Fire
Contending with the faces
hidden in the dark recesses
needing to understand
my fears and prejudices
*****
Fighting with my aspects
angels and demons hard at it
God and Satan
battling inside my head
Vying for my life
both
trying to gain the upper hand
*****
Angel sitting on my shoulder
trying hard to avoid the battle
offers an olive branch
Demon laughs "I'd rather dance"
grabs me by the throat
I stifle a whimper
Angel wipes away my tears
whispers
"It's alright, nothing to fear"
Demon smiling
squeezes
"Don't believe everything you hear"
******
Wanting to stay sane
fighting the different faces
of my personal Satan
Hoping to reconcile
my desires and denials
with the God inside my head
*******
Walking the Green Mile
complicit
in my own Trial by fire
Will I be exonerated
in the thirteenth hour?
Will I be found guilty
by my Higher power?
