Enemy—Not Me

_Silence_

It filled the room

With its

The wood floor

_Creaked_

The light

**F**l**i**c**k**e**r**e**d **


All I could do

Was

Walk

Forward


And continue to stare

At the glass before

Me

It’s was **_silver_**, such an innocent **_silver_**


The women told me

That I’d find my **enemy** in here

So why is there only this

**_Silver_**?


My reflection stared back at me

Dull

Tired

Caught on drugs


But I couldn’t be my own

**Enemy**

I was helping myself

Gorging down on the life I had left


And so I ran

As far away as I could, from the house

Trying to convince myself that the women was

_Wrong_


But if she was _wrong_…

Why did I
