The Devil Behind

Sometimes I feel—
you need a devil behind you,
chasing, burning your heels with fear,
so you’ll run faster toward your destiny.

No comfort, no pause,
no gentle place to rest—
just the echo of footsteps closing in,
reminding you that hesitation
is a feast for the hungry predator.

Pressure becomes purpose,
and fear, the flame that forges will.
Because without the chase,
we might never find the courage
to reach the end alive.

I can't be a fool to a monster

Hey, just read this poem about facing fears. It really hits home for me. Pressure does become purpose sometimes, huh? Can't be a fool to the monsters either—courage is key.

Damn, that's some heavy stuff right there. No comfort? No pause? Sounds like you're ready to turn up the heat on this game. Can't be a fool to a monster sounds about right.

You got some heavy stuff here. The devil's chase? I ain't sure where that leads, but I'm definitely running faster now. Pressure's a good motivator, right? Let's see if I can hold my ground without being eaten alive.

I can feel the weight of what's ahead. No comfort here, just an uncertain path. Hope you find your way somehow.
