Unseen Enemy
Preparation is key to remaining strong
We must put on our gilded armor to take the desecration of our world
Always wield our weapon of choice and stand ready to conquer
Most opponents vanquished with ferocious strategy
Fighting with heart and mind in tune with our tenacity
There is no one who can overcome the inner warrior
Until this concealed antagonist drives a blade silently into the flesh
With a driving force so deep, no man is left standing
The once impenetrable shield loses its durability and falls from the frame
One is hindered just by the whispers of this clandestine foe
Faltered, you strive for a breath outside this paralytic purgatory
But how cruel to force in this air only to have it constrict you further
Suffocating all alone with no comfort from adulation
Your treacherous adversary, still not done, waiting for you to rise up
Calculating when to strike and laughing when you are thrown to the ground again
Victory seems to be nowhere in sight, how can you defeat what you cannot lay a hand on?
Where do we go, how do we fight, why can’t we dodge these deadly blows?
Sometimes it is too late, the war going on in the mind begins to unravel all we know
And sometimes you may be able to escape, never unscathed, but scarred to always remember
From that point on, we run and continue to hide ourselves
Always vulnerable, always afraid and always blind to see our enemy staring back in our own reflection
