There is something inside that i have always recognized
but have been frightened to admit
a part of me that i am scared of
and wish wasn’t there
i think all of us have this little man
this devil on our shoulder
but mine actually showed himself to me
in a photo
i lost sleep after finding him
and my dreams were unsettled
i was worried that he was trying to get out
or at least come to the surface
until i realized that the little man
was me
part of me
part of the necessary whole
and i found peace in that knowledge
for in each of us lies a vast ability
for both good and evil
it all depends upon which little man
we lend our ear to
