My Enemy

The story is common So plain we pass by often All motion defeated By endless what-if questions Obvious, we own it Our anxious scars and bruises Heavy hands swing slowly With weight of our own choosing, now… We know but can’t believe it’s easy as it sounds We know but always told, "If we let go, we drown" Thirsty for comfort Too proud to ask for answers Libraries of suggestion The loudest voice is hidden Obvious, so simple Action makes for removal Heavy heart, bad posture Collapse and falling under, now… We know but can’t believe it’s easy as it sounds We know but always told, "If we let go, we drown" You feel the tide is rising That water’s cold as hell Think enemies surround you Everyone, except yourself Your condition Fake direction is no protection
