An Encounter

They call my name in the distance
The devil inviting me to listen
He waves at me smiling
'It's okay, stop hiding
Go in there, take it out
Every feeling scream it loud
The knife is your key, can you see?
To live a life down here with me
I'll be your friend I'll talk to you
Of how much I hate those people too
They're not like us, they're different!'
He screams at me from a distance
As hard as I try to ignore it
His presence had me calling
The evil in the world seems to me
Has won it's battles constantly
And only now do I see
This life never belonged to me
He grins wide at the assumption
'Little girl, that's their impression
Join us here, you'll see
Your dreams as they're made to be'
A burning urge cuts through my chest
To burry myself in the wild dust
Tomorrow another day will come
Another mission left undone
By then my dreams will differ
I'll be long lost inside this river.
