My biggest enemy

Location

I took a look over the edge and slipped

I fell into an oblivion

The fall did not just puncture my bones

but hurt a few hearts in the process

 

They told me everything would be okay

but they all left

I tried to save them from me

but they didn’t listen

 

Now I am back where I started

I am alone and empty

You never know how hitting rock bottom will feel

until you hit it and it isn't fun being there

 

I struggled to climb back up

to fix the things I messed up

I tried to start over

but I fell to far

 

there is no turning back

there is no undoing what has been done

there is no apologies

there is no allies in this war

 

I am my biggest enemy
