The Demons Inside
A true story about a young widow will be told
How the sinful pressures make a life unfold
The constant battle of good and evil
Made her lose her life to something so feeble
The prosperous path was so clear from God
But the ways of Satan made her applaud
A dark woman whose body so thin
But this is just where the story begins
A young beautiful girl who God had plans for
But instead she made Satan her core
Satan filled her spirit and took control
The struggle to stay sober broke her soul
Her world was dark with no one around
Her life was spiraling towards the hard ground
Her body’s a temple the Bible teaches
Yet men surround her like soul seeking leaches
Despite the many people who glare
Forgiveness was in the air
Her life was a cloud of gloom
But, her precious niece was her reason to bloom
Her heart still deeply cared
Even through all the hatred she bared
God filled her last days with love
For he had the plan all along from above
Her niece was able to spread her golden wings
And her life was as colorful as the beautiful Spring
