MINE OWN ENEMY

Brow wet from internal struggle
Pits of fire burn within the belly

Fever cages the heart
Landscape of the mind trembles with distress

A mirror to bear self-filth
Eyes to see and inflict the pain

Tremors through the arm
Rigid mountains pierce through the hand

Lava courses through the veins
Electricity surges in the body & hair stands

Suffering crashes & thrashes emotion
Guilt ripples & distorts reality

Our lenses we see through are self-loathing
The anchor of sanity raises away

I now sail through the legendary sea
The sea of despair bears another traveler

Here I am... staring into the sea's reflection
I am...
My own worst enemy
