The devil is truly not the answer or an excuse...self-discipline and self-control, these two things are the answer to avoid such...........fabulous poem shared here!
Fascinating, comprehensive contemplation on the old familiar excuse 'th'devil made me do it!

I love how well you did it, hitting all points and happily concluding in the last line with the solution....sweet! Excellent!

Fascinating, rather intriguing consideration on the old familiar excuse 'th'devil made me do it! ' chucking the blame as if it will help in the end. If I understand your concluding lines, you happily have cast off that blame-passing, intending to take responsibility for your actions...sweet, excellent! Because as it seems you point out, there is a chance for redemption and a better course if you acknowledge and take responsibility. Great! I liked it.
Thank you for sharing your soul. I get the conflict. At the end of the day we are who we are. You know which is more important :) I say go with that :)
