Write a poem or short story including this line.
Meditate the pain away
You've come back but I no longer need you.
I've moved on to an understanding that I have to do this alone.
The pain is immense for sure but what can you do for me regarding the deep inner pain I go through? Is it psychic assault or PTSD or perhaps both? Maybe a therapist will help but isn't that time consuming?
Maybe I need that detective that solves cases of rape to do something for me,
Like, make it stop, I'm sick of feeling abused by an invisible force.
You've come back but I no longer need you,
I believe I need the authorities to solve my problem of why the heck am I going through this? Is it going to be eternal?
Do I have to take volumes of pills for something that could be a spiritistic assault?
I bow to the Devil for answers knowing he can be worshipped a step lower than the one above, there's nothing wrong with it.
Do you see He's the one seeing me through my predicament? But I need more, who do I find, who will he guide me to? He's a protective force and I realize so many people are misled by the fact that he's the king of evil and lies. He will push your buttons with temptations even after you realize he'd rather we not sin at all.
Does he worship the God above more so than we ever knew?
Teach me your ways then, but let me not sin in it. Open my eyes beyond this realm of human condition to see the beauty of you.
Show me how a person can use evil for good and not for bad and teach me when a lie is justifiable if it ever is.
