A Conversation With My Demon

I'm worth more than this. You're nothing. What have I done to deserve this punishment? You don't deserve anything but pain and suffering. Why can't I shake this self doubt? What have you accomplished? What value are you to this world? I made progress today! You still failed, multiple times, with great ease. Why do these temptations get the best of me? You're guard is quickly penetrated and the very fact that you think you can defeat this is laughable. I love my family and friends, they are always there for me. You're alone, everyone is too busy for you and your issues. I want to share my faith with the world. You are no example to anyone! Your constant short comings show you for who you really are! But I'm a good person, I am. You are disgusting, vile, repulsive. I try to be a great father. Your children could do better. You have already let them down. It's been a while since I've had a drink. You should drown in the fact that alcohol ever had a grip on you, weak! I'm stronger than I once was! You are easily defeated! Your wife could be with a someone who is twice the man that you are! You work a meaningless job with average pay! Oh, the mistakes you've made are too numerous to count! No grace can find you in this dark place. You've drifted to depths unseen, too far gone for an outstretched hand! Why bother trying? Accept the fact that you will make absolutely no mark on anything! You worry about your happiness when others are starving and dying.. Selfish is what you are! Accept that your sins define you, that you deserve nothing short of separation from everything that you love and hold dear. My name is Darkness, and rest assured I will always be behind every moment of your life, waiting to consume you at your weakest hour! ::::Silence:::: I am made in His image. I was born to love. I'm flawed, but my flaws do not define me, my perseverance does! I'm a battle tested warrior. When I fall, I stand again. You cannot defeat me, I'm FEARLESS. Darkness always gives way to the Light. Through Grace and Mercy, I take up arms with the Undefeated One. The Creator of all things. Oh Lord, your love prevails!
