Dan St John<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The devil is beautiful. \n\nSmooth, elegant,and peaceful.\nInvisible to consequence.\ngracefully deceitful.\n\nHe lures. Smoking mirrors in my midst,\nrising in my lust,\ncheering for my rage of fits.\nUrging my greed, sex, and addictions.\nHe attacks my trust.\nLord forgive me, for in only you\nI know that I must. \n\nThe devil is beautiful to those who want to feel,\nThe devil knows me. \nHe whispers so temptingly\n\u201clet\u2019s make a deal.\u201d\nHe knows what I like and attacks me at my weakness\nEloquently\nHe manipulates my vulnerable meekness\nhe pulls me in closer just wearing his charming grin, \nconstantly fanning the flames in my desolate heart of sin.\n\nHe brings so much chaos, confusing me with pain \nLying to me about God\nI promise myself his attempts are in vain\nBut the devil is beautiful. \nNo! I need my mind to shift gears!\nbut right when I see it clearly- uncontrollably, I am paralyzed in my fears.\nIt\u2019s then, he blinds me. \nInsulting my deepest cares,\nover and over, powerfully enticing me with dares. \nSo I dance with him, waltzing, as I tip toe the snares. \nI hate his beauty and I want to be free.\nI feel like I\u2019m in an abusive, possessive relationship and I only want to leave. \nToo depressed\nToo lonely\nHe is addicted to me. <\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dan St John The devil is beautiful.
