Winning

No angle sit on my shoulder,

 

Nor a devil with its fork,

 

They manifest themselves inside and my vision they contort.

 

My angles wigs are long and black, the soft feathers of a raven.

 

And behind hands all soft and white, hide claws long and misshapen.

 

So pretty and so perfectly sits a halo upon my head,

 

But my halos glow is not of gold but a radiant bright blood red.

 

It seems I am a devil more,

 

Each time I start sinning.

 

But if I still look like an angel,

 

Is the devil or angel winning?
