I Am My Own Enemy
A thousand years,
A million fears.
Endless steps it appears
This road swallows my tears.
A darkened place
With a wicked warm embrace.
Drawing me in I'm losing the chase
As I begin to show face.
A distant light
Appears to be bright.
Is it the end of this fight?
Or am I losing sight?
Everything on me closing in.
One broken road ends a hundred more begin.
Have I lost my battle within?
Or is this how this was meant to have been?
I try to make sense
As the confusions grow intense.
Am I looking through a broken lense
Or a clear vision of pretense?
I take off running feeling unsure,
Avoiding the overpowering lure;
But the figure approaches nearer
As I stand in front of myself looking in the mirror.
It was me all along,
Singing my own broken song.
Oh how I wish I could have known I was wrong.
The light at the end of this road remains bright and strong...
I just have to reach it.
A million fears.
Endless steps it appears
This road swallows my tears.
A darkened place
With a wicked warm embrace.
Drawing me in I'm losing the chase
As I begin to show face.
A distant light
Appears to be bright.
Is it the end of this fight?
Or am I losing sight?
Everything on me closing in.
One broken road ends a hundred more begin.
Have I lost my battle within?
Or is this how this was meant to have been?
I try to make sense
As the confusions grow intense.
Am I looking through a broken lense
Or a clear vision of pretense?
I take off running feeling unsure,
Avoiding the overpowering lure;
But the figure approaches nearer
As I stand in front of myself looking in the mirror.
It was me all along,
Singing my own broken song.
Oh how I wish I could have known I was wrong.
The light at the end of this road remains bright and strong...
I just have to reach it.

From an opening of darkness n despair
To hope n light... Yup just like entering a tunnel n finding a way out into the daylight. :) niiiiicccceee

I blame myself a lot for things I really would have no control over. It's a mind game. Therefore, I become my own enemy. I have to learn to let go...thank you Poetikmind for your comments :) much appreciated!
