My Own Worst Enemy

Survivor48

Stabbing myself with criticism,

Inflicting scars through judgment.

 

Wounded by fearful hopelessness,

As I bleed out my own confidence.

 

Goals are limited by negative views,

Incapable of achieving full success.

 

Brawling with the mental despair,

Trying to uplift a positive stance.

 

Also at war with a harmful world,

Fighting for a spot in civilization.

 

Dueling with barriers to end misery,

On a determined mission for peace.

 

By combating my own worst enemy,

The wounds of self-esteem can heal.
