Enemy

My worst enemy is me

I hate my voice

I hate my personality

I hate my looks

Why can't I just be someone else?

I've been granted an inescapable curse

Stuck with a person who I long to part from

Like the sap of a hive

The flies to dirt

The spiders to their web

All I want is to die

But I'm trapped in this ship,

Weighed down by an anchor

Why can't I drown?

Every night I dream that I cease to exist

And I wake up smiling

When 11:11 hits

I don't count my blessings

I pray for an accident to befall upon me

And I know it's selfish

I'm reminded everyday

Of what's truly important

But I just can't escape my mind

It's a prison

It's my own personal torture chamber

It's my enemy
