My Own Worst Enemy

by Francis Vaska   Feb 6, 2008


I wonder to myself, why are we here,
I look at the mirror for answers,
My reflection just smiles,
Even when I go insane, it just smiles,
Its demented smile just gets under a persons skin,
I try to ignore it,
It makes me wonder what life is about,
That is when it hits me,
It knows what I think,
What I do,
And even what I dream,
I go insane and senile as each day passes,
I would never want anyone to go through this,
Not even my worst enemy,
I try to make it go away, and then a thought hits me,
I shall get rid of it forever by killing myself,
So, now that I have a chance,
I shall get rid of the evil one forever,
That night I grabbed a rope,
Tied a noose around my neck and say goodbye to the world,
And as I take my last look around I glance at the mirror,
The reflection is smiling at me gushing out blood from his mouth,
And as I saw him die, I realized that it was me,
I was laughing at my own pain, heart, and misery,
I was my own worst enemy,
And right before I died, I simply laughed.

    That is a very true fact, more often than not we are our own worst enemy, only not all of us realise or chose to admit this. 5/5
