The saddest part Is I have no one to blame No one to be mad at Because my only clear enemy Is myself My thoughts They hold me hostage, They conjure up things I so naively believe They drag me onto the battlefield Against a reflection of myself, My negative thoughts. My opponent attacks me with words She viciously convinces me Who I am is a waste And I attempt to fight back, But I’m powerless How do you defeat your mind? She continues to attack, Calling the razor to kiss my skin fiercely, Until it is I guiding it And I am defeated I know this is what she wanted And I’m sorry I have not only lost the battle, I’m so tired of fighting, I’ve lost the war I’ve lost to myself I’ve lost myself But in this moment I am noting I feel nothing But the all too familiar Emptiness And the longing To end it all
