Enemy

She is her own enemy

She tortures herself constantly

She doesn’t know how to be sane

Her mind only knows the blame

When she is with people or alone

She listens to her brain whisper

Negativity of the matter

And it makes her feel bitter

Her mind assumes the worst

Panics and worries for the most

It lives trapped at its own will

In a selfish world that is ill

It lives in its ego and pride

It makes itself hard to find

Buried in an elusive world

That is hard to comprehend.
