The Enemy Within
 
 
I may not see you, but know that you are there.
Waiting for the right moment to strike your evil blow.
 
 
You come up when everything seems fine causing
great pain, and heartache. Not caring how I feel
ruining friendships, relationship and everything else
you can grab ahold of.
 
 
Sometimes you stay and do your damage for afew
days and leave while other times you stay several
weeks.  Grabbing ahold of my life and taking total
control not caring what its doing to everyone around.
 
I have tried fighting you in everyway that I can but
always seem to fail.  You have ways to make me
doubt myself no other can achieve.
 
 
You have taken some of the best things in life and
used them against me.  You try and try to end my
life because for you to win means I must die.
 
 
I have gotten stronger now and have become aware
of your strengths and your weaknesses.  I know
where you live and hide and someday.  You shall
die.
 
I have the help of many friends you haven't managed
to make them leave.  Showing me that in order to beat
you I can't do it alone and survive.
 
 
I know you hide inside me tearing me end for end
never letting up.  I know you are the voices in my head
telling me to give up.
 
 
One day I shall track you down and make you leave
and then I shall be free from all your pain, confusion,
doubts and fears.
 
 
Oh, what a joyful day that shall be.
