Dirt and grime plaque the soul Selfishness torments the heart To the point where it no longer feels The brain cries out with insults This process brings others down to its level Falling from grace takes time The demons enter slowly Through substances Through friends Through foes Evil isn’t always visible Evil isn’t always violent Sometimes it lurks in the shadows of the alleys And it never reveals itself Evil hides in the darkest corners of your mind But only peeks out when you’re at the brink of destruction There’s darkness in all of us Just don’t let it take control
