Meet Jezzabelle. She’s
my demon. She’s the little voice in my
head that tells me to do bad things. “Steal
that cash,”
“lie to your parents.
They’ll never know!”
“you don’t need to study!
You can just cheat on this test,”.
And just when you start to realize what she’s doing…
“I’m sorry, I won’t do it again,”
“I wasn’t hurting anybody!”.
I’ve kept Jezzabelle around for way too long! She’s hurt me and numerous other people, yet I
still haven’t kicked her sorry little butt out of my life! I keep her around, even though she’s a cruel
and hurtful creature! Sometimes what she
says even sounds—moral. It sounds moral,
but it isn’t if I really think about it.
“Don’t tell them what he did, it will get him in trouble,”
“They don’t need to know that,”
She even makes me think terrible things aboutmyself.
“You’re such a coward!”
“you’re so stupid, you’ll never make anything of yourself!”
“you’re so annoying, how does anyone like you?! Oh wait, no one does!”
“ha! You think you’re beautiful? Say that to your waist line!”.
But… I don’t have to listen to Jezzabelle. I don’t have to heed her words, I don’t have to take her advice, I don’t have to do what she says, I don’t have to listen to her! So I won’t. Jezzabelle, from now on I’m not listening to you. Goodbye Jezzabelle, and good riddance!

Who’s your demon? Do
you listen to them?
