Enemy

Within

The greatest enemy we have is our own mind.

It can cause us to waste our precious time.

Make us feel inadequate to others around us.

Things we achieve are suddenly suspicious.

We ponder and wonder if we are deserving.

If we are worth the life that we are yearning.

If we have what it really takes to succeed.

To remain shackled or whether to be freed.

Think outside the box or stay in our line.

To follow the norm and keep on lying.

Is it right to be on the outside looking in?

Questions we ask again and again.

After all you just want to be you and i want to be me.

But how can we stop this enemy?
