I danced with the devil
Burned by the rush of the ride,
Spiraling down cliffs in his black corvette ride
Engulfed by flames, contently trapped inside

A mirror to all yet avoiding my own eyes
Fear constricts me, tangled in thorny vines
Possessing every thought, screams fly by

Suffocated by his grip, both refusing and begging
Digging his claws deeper into my sides,
One false step: it’ll ruin my life

There’s comfort in hell when it’s all you know
Until the small cracks shatter the ego
Fresh air ebbs and flows
A taste of peace still on the tip of my tongue

Afraid this dark mark will forever stain my heart,
Trudge through the ashes honoring every step fought
Fear of my reflection, loathing the dark rim-stained eyes
On display for the world- haunting, sleepless nights

Envision a life where dreams don’t flush down the drain
Raging voices of doubt seeped into my brain
Threatening to replace the whisper of truth
The flicker of hope they’re demanding to undo

Afraid of my fire, so I let myself drown
Battling engraved years of doubt demanding I tap out
Slowly releasing the shackles, once kept me safely chained in place

Undress my denial as slow as I need
Deny the rushing pace that was once a magnet to me
Respite flowing through with each slow breath I breathe

Chasing impulsivity and chaos once craved
Now repelled by me: unweaving doubts revealed in me
Without fail, I lose my flame when I don’t slow down
Breathe in breathe out, hope guides me now

I’ve danced with the devil
Hauntings of the past attempt to crawl back
A smiling reflection is what I see, knowing they can’t grasp me
Deserving of the fantasies I’ve once dreamed, intertwine with reality
At my pace, as slow as I need
