The Devil Inside
Sometimes I feel the devil rising from deep within my soul I try and try and try like hell to keep her in control
She feeds on all the pain and guilt and laughs at my demise I try and try and try like hell but she continues to rise
Satisfaction she desires most when I just hide away I try and try and try like hell to stop her rise each day
Sometimes I feel like giving in my heart can take no more I try and try and try like hell as she eats me to my core
She drinks up all my blood filling me with rage I try and try and try like hell to keep her in her cage
Sometimes I see the woman without the devil in me I try and try and try like hell cause that’s who I want to be.

FPS: The Last Flame Challenge Winners
Welcome to our first Winners Announcement of the year and to the final challenge in the Fall Poetry Series. The Last Flame invited writers to sit with endings, using fire as a central image to consider what remains when something burns out: ash, warmth, memory, silence, or the faint promise of what comes next. The strongest pieces treated endings as gradual rather than sudden, allowing them to flicker, dim, and linger.
