That demon

That demon that lies deep down inside

That demon you don’t acknowledge because of foolish pride

That demon has you thinking you’re altruistic, different from the rest but you’re really just another statistic

That demon emerges when there are feelings involved

You think you are mature but you really haven’t evolved

Projecting on to others what you refuse to see

Believing there’s honor in being a martyr with a victim mentality

That demon convinces you you’ve been taken advantage of and played

But the truth is you’re where you are because of the choices that you made

Dressed in denial that demon is convinced that accountability isn’t true

Then someone holds up the mirror to reveal that demon is really you

About lmeceo

My name is Lisa M Evans MA, CDP.  I am an author, blogger, introvert and vegan.  I earned a Masters degree in Psychology from Cleveland State University and a certification in Diversity Management. I created this blog to come out of my shell and share my perspective on a variety of topics. I want to use this blog as a sounding board, gathering place and learning opportunity. I plan on sharing a little bit of everything that interests me, natural hair, being vegan, and anything else that moves me. I have three titles that are available on Amazon,  I Know How to Lose Weight, So Why Haven't I,  a self-help book that was written as a way to work through my issues with weight and dig deeper than just diet and exercise, This is my brain on emotion, a collection of poems that I have written over the years to express my innermost thoughts and feelings, Rich Man's Song, a children's book that teaches a valuable lesson about love and money.
