Face me,
my
worst
enemy.
Smile so
easily.
Child of
revelry,
complexity.
Disguise my
eyes.
No surprise
when
you
rind
my lies
are not the only weapon I hide.
My enemy
watching me
plotting my downfall.
I see you clear
as a mirror
you are my outcome.
The catalyst
of desire,
my need
to feed the fire.
Pushing me
to reach higher,
then knocking me down.
I’ll embrace
whatever pain
will make
me face
away
from you.
I’ve bought
the games,
I played,
I gave
everything
for fear
of you.
I’m locked in a cage
with the one that I hate
more than anything.
I just can’t get away,
no matter how hard I try
to deny the distain
that I feel in my bones.
The fact that I’m alone remains.
I just can’t face
myself
anymore,
so I have learned to hate who I am.
