devils Deception

It was the devil 
The enemy 
Who had me soaking in my insecurities 
He said I’d be a little prettier if I looked like her…
Said I should change the way people see me
I thought he had my best interest… 
Thought he was lookin out for me 
he made me feel special; he was talkin real sweet 
he said
the world was his puzzle and I was the last missing piece 
he said If I fit in then I’d feel more complete  
Said the way God created me just wouldn’t do enough for me 
I should alter my identity 
So 
I 


Believed
I needed to look more like…
her
them

And I believed him 

comparison was the thief that killed my self esteem 
And robbed me of the last bit of beauty I saw in me 
It destroyed my self perception 
he got me 
The devil used flattery as a form of deception 
he’s a liar 
and a thief
stole my confidence right from under me
Really had me believin I needed to look more like
her
the devil tried to twist up Gods words from fearfully and wonderfully made to
Fear what God made 
So I could panic 
he wanted me to soak in my insecurities
But 
Gods word always finds a way to cleanse me 
Protects me
Affirm me
