Your Own Worst Enemy
Anissa Bredemeyer

You are your own worst enemy,
You scream
And cry
And weigh yourself
And want to die.

You’re your own worst enemy,
You bark orders at yourself internally
And smother yourself in your own high expectations.

You’re your own worst enemy,
You altered your own point of view
In an attempt to satisfy others’.

You’re your own worst enemy,
You’ve encrusted your heart with steel
With a mighty Iron Fist.

You’re your own worst enemy,
Fighting against yourself in this
Cold War inside your anguished head and heart.

You’re your own worst enemy,
Where does it start?
Where does it end?
