Determined not to

Why is it that you determine 
Not to like something...
Just because someone else
Wants you to...
The more they prod...
The more you...
Dig in your toes and refuse
To even think about it...
Some perverse human feeling
Grabs a hold and tells you...
"Don't listen: it's not good...
You won't like it..."
Is it the same when you want
To desperately do something...
You know it's wrong...
You know you shouldn't do it...
But you feel that tug upon your heart...
Is it Satan and his wiles?
Luring you to sin...
Dragging you...willingly...
Towards damnation...
This crazy human nature is unfair...
As in the Bible...
"That which I would not: I do...
That which I would: I do not..."
God help us...for we cannot...
Seem to help ourselves...
