The Creature

The creature stalks you.
Blood thirsty it tempts you,
Tempts you to give up and stop resisting.
You know it'll consume you if you stop.
It's haunting you again,
For it knows you have gone thorugh this before.
It knows you're weak, tired and afraid.
The creature feeds on this.
Do you have a choice to stop?
Do you want to give in?
So many others have.
Your choice.
You will always have a choice.
What is your decision?

I tried to make this piece seem like a monster is following someone. This piece is comparing sin to a monster. The point is that you have to choose whether to give up and let it consume you or fight back and do the right thing.
