realizing the gift of persuasion
fear is all i have
denial is what i say.

when people follow
i try half-heartedly to stop them

with the gift of persuasion
i am joyful
when people bow to what i ask
i push them even more

when persuasion comes
lucifer owns my left soul
bad wordscome out of my mouth
negativity rules my mind

when persuasion asleep
angels are half-awake guarding my rite soul
smiles and jokes fill my days
optimistic i become

if persuasion shifted to numb
i see pictures in my mind
pictures of evil whom i refuse to see
i see me
