Facing the light at the end of the tunnel,
While wandering dark endless trails,
Given the choice of smooth pavement,
And then somehow walking on nails.
Unable to swim and treading water,
A lifeguard reaching their hand down,
So easy to grab and to take hold,
But for you it’s even easier to drown.
You are shown the way,
You see how to get through,
But you will never make it,
When your greatest enemy is you!
Laying in bed you are terminally ill,
By your side is the recipe for a cure,
Could be breathing the fresh air tomorrow,
But today’s poison is what you prefer.
Promising to change,
And hiding behind lies,
You dress like an angel,
When you’re a devil in disguise.
You are given the word,
You know what to do,
But how do you survive,
When your greatest enemy is you?
Walking on nails,
Then choosing to drown,
Neglecting crucial remedies,
Is why you wear the devil’s gown.
Look into the mirror,
I promise there will be a reflection,
Accept that you are your greatest enemy,
And you will head in the right direction.
