I have a date with the devil.

In my pain, he can revel.

My life can't be glorious

so I'll never be victorious.

*

I have a date with the devil,

as he knows my head is not level.

He wants me to hide

and be only dead inside.

*

I have a date with the devil.

Towards me, he is very bedevil.

He told me, "It better be understood

that to me you must be good."

***

The last 17 hours have been a disaster, so I decided to express it in words to be able to cope with it, kind of.
