Climb the highest mountain, punch the face of god
THE ENEMY IN THE MIRROR
Sometimes the enemy we see is only ourselves in the mirror.
Fight as we might to sustain ourselves from view of this
Much hated adversary, we take only a few moments to
Truly appreciate who it is you have come to adore hating.
Fascination floods the eyes as we are looking at the world
Through soiled and tainted visions of goodness that were
Thrown away so many years ago, now we see the enemy
Was only ourselves. We dealt with it in dangerous ways:
Overeating, smoking, drinking, taking drugs, suicide, hate.
When the mirror was wiped clean of all the fog of someone's
Tempted anger, it was then that we saw what was really there.
It was only us. We were the enemy. We were what we feared
For many a nights as we laid in our sad excuse of a bed to
Think of new ways to destroy ourselves, thinking that we
Were conquering this foe, this rival, this bastardly person
Who has no love for anyone but themselves for their mirror
Has become their best friend. They know no other friends.
We didn't know that we were directing all this hate unto ourselves.
