the demon is near, what goes bump in the night (look in the mirror) by telle wild rose

scene 1:

i woke up in a fright, 

from a dream of what goes bump in the night 

and truly what a horrendous sight, 

the grotesque creature lurking just out of sight.

Scene 2: 

was it real or was I merely dreaming, 

I try to keep my cool but inside I'm screaming.

the horrors untold,

my soul was its to hold. 

scene 3: 

I turn on the lights in my bathroom mirror,

I peer inside in anticipation, when suddenly in abject horror, 

I see a monster looking back at me,

she's wearing a blue dress, so much blue is all I see.  

scene 4: 

was I summoned or did she summon me? 

what is this strange creature of light staring back at me? 

she looks at me as if I'm the beast, the night creature,

I stretch out my hand towards her.

scene 5: 

I'm not sure what will happen when light meets darkness,

but I must know, must take the chance with this. 

wake up! this thing is sinister,

wake up! your enemy is near, just look in the mirror!

The Demon is near, look in the mirror, by Telle Wild Rose. 

If you ever felt like your own worst enemy, you are in good company, sometimes a trick of the mind is just that, a lie, don't listen to it. 

great a many men have faced this same struggle, of the enemy of self, the struggle, the wrestling, the self hatred and even fear of what we may mess up next, The bible says this: 

Romans 7:14-25

King James Version

14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.

15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.

16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.

17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.

19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.

20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.

22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:

23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?

25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

our hope is not found in ourselves, but in Jesus Christ our Savior, look up, our redeemer draws nigh!
