The Enemy Within

When is it I can stop being
my very own worst enemy
it's war I declare on myself
when I only want to be free

How do you defend when the
attacker comes from within
run for cover or turn and fight
no matter which you can't win

Calling out the assailant
I yell and point my finger
but only mocking rage from
the one who's in the mirror

To be up against the one who
does the most damage of all
nobodies to blame but yourself
when you cause your own fall

Longing to call a truce since
all the things I want to be
look so damn impossible when
I'm my own worst enemy
