The Enemy Within

The Enemy Within

A Poem by Gomer LePoet
"

I can be my own worst nightmare

"

The Enemy Within


I am my biggest supporter

I am my worst detractor

I am my own best friend

I have been my own worst enemy

I am capable of incredible wonder

I too often create my own disaster

I am often a tender lover

I can be as cold as solid ice

I am kind and forgiving

I can be selfish and unrelenting

I can write words of wisdom

I sometimes say things barbaric

I am human

I am the enemy within

This says so much. We look at ourselves and see so many contradictions. One time I am this, the next time I am that. This was well done.

We can be so many things. Just being ourselves is good enough, I think. Yeah, we are all our own worst enemy, agreed!

A poem that described the most of us. We can be many things in a life and a day. Last line made your words complete.
"I am human
I am the enemy within"
