Own worst enemy

My own worst enemy
the person I try not to be
tells me I should quit, that ill never be free 

laughs when my voice cracks
pokes holes when anxiety attacks

my own worst enemy
the person deep inside I hear
tells me I'm unworthy, that I deserve my fear
puts me down when my confidence is growing

hates to see me glowing

my own worst enemy
insists that I'm not worth anything
that I cant be happy within
puts doubt in when things are good
puts the boot in when I'm low of mood

my own worst enemy
the voice in my mind
saying words, often so unkind
yet it pushes me on, to gain ground
to find my path, to be better all around

my own worst enemy
yet a part of me, when things seem ill of ease
can give comfort in times of need
gives praise when I need it most
my enemy, my friend, forever close

Thanks for reading, love you all.
Kyle.
