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
