I am my greatest enemy

This is my culpability.


I look in the mirror

And all I see is a writ of error.


Locked in the prison of my mind

Afraid that I'll be left behind.


Won't ask for help, too much pride

Or just don't want to show the fear inside.


Don't care about what people think of me

But terrified I am of what I see.


Not smart, Not dumb, not driven, nor strung

Nor happy, nor sad, nor good and not bad.


I am just, and that is what I hate,

Weak Willed, like fish starting at bait.


And so I struggle

Caught in my bubble.


An endless tussle

With my head muscle.


I write this rhyme to face my insecurity

And hope by the end to see some clarity.


In this life's ruthless tyranny

I am my greatest enemy.
