(poems go here) This is my break up letter: to the only real enemy I have. This letter was written symbolically when I first accepted Christ. I said yes to God, and no to Satan. Now, 10 years later I've written it down for the world to view.

Dear Satan,

I guess this is how you start a break up letter; I mean I’ve never written one.

I guess I could start by saying that I’ve moved on, meaning that WE are done.

You see, I’m tired of all the mind games, the lying and reprove.

I’m tired of being tied down, when everything in me tells me to move.

Yes I’m leaving you for someone else, and He’s a Prince the Son of a King.

I’m quite sure you understand all the things you’ve done

I don’t want an apology but I’m telling you JUST. LET. ME. BE

I’m done with the manipulation,

The expectation

The conversations

The plans you have for my annihilation.

The rhythm of my spirit becoming unsteady

Because I was unready

And too petty

To see the truth

Telling me right was wrong and I just LET you.

I’ll admit this one thing, since I’m confessing anyways

I know that you’re the obsessive type, and you’ll bug me from day to day

But nothing will change

Nothing will break

Give way

Or shake

I’m DONE.

I let you make a fool out of me before but I won’t do it again

You’ve convinced me before but not this time no, I’m not letting you in

This time I’m stronger

Faster

Wiser

My eyes, they’re open wider

And I see you for who you are

A murder

A liar

A cheater and a prostitute

Something you wanted to make out of me spiritually, when my spirit was destitute

But I know better now, and I’m glad to see you go

Resist the devil and he will flee right?

Signed,

You already know.
