Question

The Devil That Stays Quiet....


There’s a devil inside me,
but it isn’t fire or chaos.
It’s boredom.
It’s the voice that shrugs
when people talk about hope.
It sits in the corner of my chest
counting the days,
telling me nothing changes,
telling me staying
is the same as losing.
Some days I believe it.
Some days it sounds logical.
Change is slow.
So slow it feels fake.
So slow it feels like a lie people tell
to survive the waiting.
But I’m still here.
Not brave.
Not healed.
Just here
and the devil hates that.
It hates that I wake up anyway.
That I carry the dark
instead of letting it erase me.
That even bored, even empty,
I stay.
The devil wants drama.
Collapse.
Finality.
But all it gets
is quiet endurance
and days that pass
one by one.
Maybe light isn’t winning.
Maybe it’s not even fighting.
Maybe it’s just choosing
not to leave
when nothing feels different yet.
The devil whispers,
Nothing changes.
But it hasn’t noticed
I’m still here.
And that alone
means something already has.
