My Enemy

My Enemy

A Poem by Alicia Huntley

I have a problem. 
It lurks, sneaks, and clings. 
It gets in my way and it will hold me down if I let it. 

I have a voice. 
It nags and tells me 
I am not good enough. 
It lets me know when I am unwanted. 

These two combine. 
They feel like an external force. 
They punch and pull
They makes me hurt. 
I feel like I am torn apart. 

But this problem, this voice. 
It is on the inside. 
It is me. 
I create the battle. 
I create the pain. 
I cannot stop it. 

Why am I my worst enemy...

Its not good to struggle with depression, i hope its getting better for you :)
This was deep and emotional, and written from the heart.
If you ever need someone to talk to im a message away.
Great write

Isn't this nature at it's finest. why is it that we create our own experience, and we then use it for one of two purposes: To sharpen the knife or to dull the blade.
I love it, please keep writing and keep on being introspective. Thank you for sharing.
