In my youth, a voice so sly,
Satan whispered secrets nigh,
Of love for God, despite the fall,
Betrayal wrapped within it all.
He spoke of grace, a bond so deep,
God's shadow lingered, his angels weep.
Yet in those whispers, solace came,
A flicker of hope, amid his pain.
Satan whispered, “Forgiveness fades,
For the wounds God leaves, the scars invade.
To shield your soul from God's cruel reign,
I’ll take you far, you'll feel no pain.”
Now distant echoes, shadows cast,
In a place of stillness, the die was cast.
His love was pure, my hurt was deep,
In calmness now, my heart is steeped.
In childhood’s tender, fragile days,
I learned the world’s perplexing ways.
Not from divinity’s gentle hand,
But within the shadows where I stand.
Satan there, a silent guide,
In moments alone, he’d never hide.
With love and lessons soft and sweet,
He taught me truths I’d learn to meet.
Cherished and cared for, my secret friend,
Educated my heart as if to mend.
In every trial, he stayed so near,
A complex dance of love and tears.
Betrayal and hurt were lessons deep,
In the darkness, his solace, his wisdom I'd keep.
While God’s words were distant, from a book so old,
It was in the shadows man's story was told.
A broken humanity, oh how it bleeds,
In the grip of their anger, while planting ill seeds.
Forgiveness was absent, a thin veil of scorn,
With hearts full of hatred, too bitter, too worn.
In the depths of their anguish, betrayal ran deep,
With the pain of the lost, within memories they keep.
They stoked flames of despair, with each cruel, spiteful act,
Till lives flickered out, there’s no turning back.
They died in their silence, without love to defend,
In a world filled with hate, where no man makes amends.
Satan whispered a lesson, in darkness it came,
To forgive when we're hurt, it's a powerful flame.
In time I found those wars, so bold,
Men longed for battles, their hearts turned cold.
But I held back, no thirst for war,
No pain inflicted mattered more.
Though battles I face and the sting of the fight,
With the grace in my heart, I choose what is right,
For every offence, I will rise above,
In the face of the storm, I will choose who I love.
Forgiveness is strength, not a weakness to wield,
Through pain and through struggle, my heart will not yield,
So here in the twilight, where sorrows may live,
I stand with resolve, and I always forgive.
The lessons of Satan, to me they're clear,
To abandon them means to live within fear.
In betrayal of wisdom, a heavy price,
When trust is broken, it's a lost paradise.
So let’s break the chains of anger and spite,
Embrace understanding, let’s find the light.
For in this vast world, we’re all in the fray,
I won't betray, I forgive, come what may.
You’ve lived your years; I've lingered long,
In the silence of choice, where thoughts belong.
To hate what you hate, that path's not for me,
My peaceful heart yearns to be free.
So I pose the question, with courage, not fear,
Can you accept me, or must I disappear?
I cannot follow the tide that you steer,
In this symphony of life, I choose my own sphere.
For the only choice, my heart must believe,
Is the grace to stay or the courage to leave.
