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.
