Angels and Demons

Angels—

Are there when you need them

And help you through the bad

We don’t always see them

Especially when we’re sad

 

Demons—

Come in our darkest times

To pull us into the pain

Though you do not always understand the crimes

You always feel the shame

 

Angels—

You do not always see them

As they come and go

But after we leave them

They hold a place inside our soul

 

Demons—

You do not always understand the crime

That they bring upon our self

It’s then when we usually go to the divine

And take Him off the shelf

 

Angels—

We often take them for granted

And forget to thank the Lord

For bringing them into our lives

When we go out to face the world

 

Demons—

Are something never wanted

But they always take

You seem to feel like you’re being haunted

And you hope that the feeling is fake

 

 

 

We don’t really understand them

But they are always in our life

They are our worst enemies

And our best friends for life

 

Is an angel always an angel,

Or can it be a demon too?

Most think there is a clear difference,

But they don’t have a clue

 

How do we differentiate

When the line between them isn’t clear?

This fact becomes very obvious

In all the stories that we hear

 

We hear about a best friend

Who turned their back when their friend fell

In that instance that once beautiful angel

Turned into a demon from hell

 

It can also be the opposite

Because it’s not always black and white

Without ever expecting it,

Our greatest demons can bring us light

 

You must always be careful

To not judge on a whim

For if you judge to quickly

The outcome might be grim

 

So be grateful for your angels

But expect the demons too

If you live in knowing

Then you won’t be as askew
