I want you to know these people you have
known to believe are angels are truly
demons disguised in white cloth.
They scream and proclaim good to draw
others in, knowing how naive the
human race can truly be.
You don't know that behind those closed doors
that they lock so tightly are falsehoods
whispered so lowly and are much
more powerful than you'd ever
think they would be.
You look at them and believe they are your
equal because they say they will
guide you through pastures
that are green and along
waters that are steady.
You don't realize that they are slowly
corrupting the good instilled in
you, waiting for the right
moment to shatter your
fragile spirit.

These demons are bitter -- bitter because they
are incapable of releasing their demons
that consistently make them weaker
by the minute -- smashing their
feelings and feeding off
of their souls.
They don't believe in moving on and letting go.
Every regret is carried along with them
to this day so they prey.
Not everyone is bad but every body is
capable of being taken over by the
presence of a demon that was
once an angel.
Don't doubt that you'll never get greeted
by one. Don't you dare believe that
this is only a figment of one's
imagination.
Forgive them, not for not knowing what they
do, but for the choices that they've made.
Pray that you may never become one.
