My Greatest Enemy


Enemy of face Hear me You lurk forever in my shadow And the depths of my eyes I float only on the surface Too afraid of the dive The underneath belongs to you Disguised with so many layers But your teeth shred them away I used to struggle against you I lost to sinister tricks My soul tightly chained to you The fear in me is you You are an unbeatable monster I wallow when my will weakens You, creature, control me Secret sabotage of my soul I say it’s ok, I’m perfectly fine Just don’t look too close You have ruined me with dark of ways Stolen from me sound of mind Captured my choice of life Face of enemy Is mine
