You!

You're the enemy you must overcome...

You!
Yes you.
I see you stare,
Watching to see me fail
You!
Yes you.
I see you smile
Whenever I'm in pain.

You watch me stumble,
You smile,
You mumble,
Your smile growing wide.
But I don't fall,
So I watch as it fades,
And see you pace.

But as the time changes,
I watch your pain,
And almost wish a cry would rain.
But you wait,
And wait to see what I'll create.
You openly stare,
In a manner I can't compare,
So sure I will fail
So sure I cling to a wobbling rail.

But cling I will,
For sure I am
That succeed, I can.
Even if I try over and over,
Even if my strength fails me,
And my wobbling rail almost destroys me.
But try I must,
For in God I trust,
Till I turn to dust.

And in my drained state,
I watch you watch me.
You!
Yes you,
The one I see in the mirror
That tries to drown me in horror
Of thoughts yet unpronounced
Of all the goals unaccomplished.

You try to drag me into the abyss of depression,
With no room for reflection
Breaking all communication
And even helpers I see as distraction.

But leave me be, you will
And this is not a drill
This time I'll hear a shrill
The highest level of pain
And the cries rain.

This time I stand tall,
I will not fall,
Because, You!
Yes you,
Are done.
