Thy Worst Enemy


Thy Worst Enemy

is one that never leaves.

It is always 

by your side.

 

You cannot 

run from it.

Swimming,

is out of the question.

Don't even thingk

about flying.

 

Thy Worst Enemy

is like

a monkey on your back

that grows

into a gorilla.

Maybe a dragon

you need to slay.

 

Will I have

to tell you the 

truth.

That dragon,

thy worst enemy,

can be slain.

 

Only you can do it

Because thy worst enemy

is your mind.
