The Devil's PlayGround
Lesandra D Savia 1986 (San Bernardino, Ca.)
THE
DEVIL'S
PLAYGROUND
The Devil's PlayGround is a horrific place ... It's sad to see, not many people end up leaving this space.
It's hard to tell from one soul to the other ... Which one he'll grab, with amazed wonder.
Everyone says "Oh No Not Me" ... That saddest part is they honestly don't see ... The veil he blinds them with is fast an not seen.
I used to think this was my Heaven on Earth ... Now tho I know, that's how he tricked my soul.
I fed right into his cruel thoughtfilled plan ... It wasn't fast an he thought it'd last.
Jokes on him cause God saw his plan ... He came to me, so many times, trying to set me free.
I fought hard at first, against the voice I heard ... God called down to me, asking and begging "Please have faith an trust in me".
I knew I was lost sadly I paid with heavy costs ... All the things taken away were just the path he'd long ago made.
It's painful to see, I let the Devil have a hold on me ... Slowly but surely God's granting me love, bliss an serenity.
I can not wait until the day I can say I've won this fight ... I'll be standing strong an proud with all my mite.
This will be the day the devil's playground will be far away from my sights ... Then everyone will see my soul shining bright!
