Motivation

Spoke with a demon last night;
Tried to talk me down.
Said it isn't worth the fight,
Said that I would drown
No matter what I try to do.
It tried to sound sincere,
Its despicable grin grew.
With eyes full of delight,
Said I had nothing to fear
If I went with it tonight.

Asked what's my motivation,
I couldn't find the reply;
Thought about God's creation.
Then I looked the demon in its eyes
Darkened with black fire,
And I said that I despise
The request that I retire.
But it didn't give in;
Said it's not worth living,
That my life's been full of sin,
That God was unforgiving.

I called the bluff;
I know that life at times is dreary
But I haven't had enough,
And I'm still not weary.
I pushed the demon away
As I said that I'm staying here;
I will not be led astray;
I will not fear.
My life is incomplete
Without winning this war.
I was placed here to defeat
This stubborn tumor,
To show people the way,
To tell people not to quit.
I'm just writing to say,
That demon's full of shit.
