Am I an angel or a devil inside,
Convicted, strangled, with nowhere to hide?
Bury this pain at an angle so steep,
Lost like a vessel in the Bermuda’s deep.
My life, a canvas by Van Gogh, so bright,
With strokes of genius that capture the light.
Images whisper, “An angel, you are,”
Yet flames within me scorch like a star.
Am I a pawn in this grand cosmic play,
Or am I essential, in every way?
A dichotomy of spirit and flesh,
Wrestling with visions that constantly mesh.
In the mirror, two reflections I see,
One clad in virtue, the other, not free.
The halo above, or the horns that rebel,
Each tells a story that I long to tell.
I sail through life’s tempests, a captain so bold,
Yet in my heart, there’s a chill, there’s a cold.
The fire that’s burning, a passion untamed,
Makes me the devil, yet I’m not to be blamed.
For every angel has felt the abyss,
And every demon knows something’s amiss.
So what am I truly? What role do I fill?
Am I the healer, or am I the ill?
The road stretches onward, my journey’s not done,
Through trials and triumphs, I walk, I run.
An angel or devil, the answer’s unclear,
But in every moment, my purpose is dear.
So I’ll paint my life with a palette so vast,
Embracing the future, not chained to the past.
And whether an angel or devil I be,
I am essential, unique, and free.
If you are a devil, and I’m the same,
In the dance of flames, we share the blame.
Through inferno’s gate, we relate, we twine,
Two mirrored shades in the dark divine.
If I am an angel, and you are too,
Then in the heavens, our spirits flew.
In clouds above, we relate, we soar,
Two kindred souls, who could ask for more?

There is eternal beauty for a eorld not in need of literal eternity in your entwined devils John.
