beware! a deadly foe is near
a pot of fears it brews
you cannot hide because it’s here
the deadly foe is you
you are your own worst enemy
you know where you hurt most
you battle yourself daily
and you’ve become a ghost
don’t hold a sword to your own throat
do not despise the mirror
stop trying so hard to stay afloat
on a boat that thinks you inferior
dive into the sea and set yourself free
swim away from the toxicity
fly into the air and spread your wings
don’t mold to their simplicity
be anything you want to be
not everything they want to see
be happy, sad, be angry
but be you, always and only
