My Dark Poems

The Enemy

We never seem to fight

When it's right

It seems

To me

It's because

We don't know

Our enemy

Is it you?

Is it me?

Nope that's wrong as can be

I know!

Its society!

All their rules

Those fools

But didn't we make that too

We are easily influenced

We are all naive

Seems the enemy

Knows

It's as clever as can be

That's why we seem

To have a motto

As a team

Survival of the fidest

But isn't

That selfish

What about your family

What about your friends

There's a reason they say

Coward always win

Look around your corners

Look under the bed

What's holding you back

Is the enemy just in our head

Or has it spread

Is that why it seems

We are lost

At a time

Is that the enemy

just passing by

We all have problems

But we are all strong

But the enemy still

Insists on breaking us apart

Using the distance

Already there

From your jealousy

And despair

So you will

Never repair

Maybe if we fought

For others

Took care of one another

We would be stronger

The enemy wouldn't bother us

Any longer

But is that okay with you?

Can you separate lies and truth?

Or are we bound to lose

What do you choose?
