The Devil Is A Lie

It seems like forever since I wrote anything. 2013 took a toll on me mentally and physically. But no need to dwell on that. It's a new year and a new chapter. So I figured what better way to signify change than to start the new year off with my passion, my joy, my release: writing. The title to this piece came from a song by rappers Rick Ross ft. Jay-Z. The song may not go with the words, but oh well! I do what I want. Lol. No seriously. Anyways, sit back and enjoy while I sip on this Twenty Grand and put my words on "paper". 

My men-tuition kicking in, my head is feeling light

Spider senses are tingling, something just isn't right

Can't quite put my finger on it, but I know it's a feeling I've felt before

Too afraid of the pain, I refuse to explore

Not wanting to know more, I make preparations to ignore

But this sh*t is knocking loud, as if the police are at the door

I'm trying to give my mind "a-rrest" but my heart is handcuffed

Looking to the heavens, hoping God says "ok, that's enough"

But He allows the devil to continue to administer the pain

My eyes are slowly becoming nimbus clouds, the forecast is expecting rain

I try to keep it together, hoping to change the weather

Praying for sunny, clear skies; anything to make it better

But to no avail, it's slowly starting to sprinkle

Out comes pain that's been sleeping longer than Rip Van Winkle

Now my stomach is churning, a peace of mind is what I'm yearning

And somewhere in the background Usher is talking about something burning

I'm losing the battle, but I'm more focused on the war

I cry out to my Father, not able to take the pain anymore

Right before it becomes unbearable, He sends His angels to protect me

Reminding me that as long as I believe, He will never neglect me

The war is over, now I'm something like a veteran

And having gone through it, I think I came out a better man

The lesson learned is to believe, no need to cry

And no matter the adversity, the devil is a lie
