Enemy<br />

So many mistakes,<br />

That can’t be undone.<br />

So many fights,<br />

I only wish I’d won.<br />

My own worst enemy<br />

Is right there,<br />

Inside of me.<br />

Perfect is something I’ll never be<br />

And she’s always right here<br />

To constantly remind me.<br />

<strong>The</strong> pain she brings<br />

Is kept deep inside<br />

From the rest of the world,<br />

This I can hide.<br />

If they would only look and see<br />

<strong>The</strong>n they would surely<br />

Somehow, think less of me.<br />

If only they would know<br />

That this feeling<br />

I can’t seem to let go.<br />

<strong>The</strong> battles fought<br />

Have been hard and extreme<br />

But as young as she is<br />

You couldn’t guess what she’s seen.<br />

<strong>The</strong> person she is<br />

Should be all that I’m not,<br />

But the similarities<br />

Are some you wouldn’t have thought.<br />

I’m so afraid of being just like her,<br />
