My biggest enemy
I took a look over the edge and slipped
I fell into an oblivion
The fall did not just puncture my bones
but hurt a few hearts in the process
They told me everything would be okay
but they all left
I tried to save them from me
but they didn’t listen
Now I am back where I started
I am alone and empty
You never know how hitting rock bottom will feel
until you hit it and it isn't fun being there
I struggled to climb back up
to fix the things I messed up
I tried to start over
but I fell to far
there is no turning back
there is no undoing what has been done
there is no apologies
there is no allies in this war
I am my biggest enemy
