My Enemy
Filed Under Poetry | Leave a Comment
In the depths he creeps
Waiting, whispering
Every time I laugh, he laughs
Every time I cry, he cries
Every time I think, he thinks
Every time I sing, he sings
When I have an idea, he has two more
When I speak of friendship, he tells of honor
When I summon my courage, he sings of bravery
When I think of romance, he dreams of love
Outside the wall of dreams, he walks not
Save the occasional glimmer of a shadow
Through the pools of conciousness
He tells me to get up when I am sleeping,
He commands me to go on when I am tired,
He makes me change things that have always worked,
He forces me to take risks when I am comfortable
The reflection of light reveals him not
Yet appear he does
In my every look
In my every glance
He sings of battles to be won
And dreams of goals to be achieved
He looks for rules to be broken
And asks for things to be improved
Crushed him I have
With all my might
Yet appear he does
Come shutters of day
My strength fades
With each passing conflict
My wounds increase
Yet he stops not
This is my cry from the depths unknown
On the battlefield unseen
For soon he will come
And I will be no more
