My Own Worst Enemy

I’ve cried a thousand tears and fought my own caused wars
I’ve overcome my battles and had something great, worth striving for
I’ve tried to abandon the old me, and take the steps towards positive change
Now I realize that my new dreams are sabotaged by my ever present shame
 
I’ve begged for forgiveness, and I think I’ve been granted what I asked
I’ve learned lessons from my history, yet, my pain has failed to pass
I’ve yearned for a sense of happiness, a clue that my spirit is finally free
Now I realize that the old me has put a limit on all I’ll ever be
 
I’ve become my own worst enemy, and I believe it’s always been so
I’ve ached for soul sparing victory, but I feel it’ll never show
I’ve made my bed for a while now, and that fact is the bitterest sweet
Now I have to take the credit here, I’m the certain death of me

(2014)
