You Are The Voice Inside My Head

I can’t make the final leap

Every time I go to take the last step

You drag me back

To go toe-to-toe again

One more round in the ring

I tap out, but still the bruises bloom

I am fighting my shadow

Hiding from my shifty reflection

I can’t make the final leap

So won’t you push me off?
