My Worst Enemy

The lights darken...

As I run down the hall...

The screams intensifies...

As I ignore the cry for help...

The ceiling collapses...

As I descend level by level...

The building flattens...

As I exit the door...

The horror paralyzes...

As I turn toward the rubble..

The realization dawns...

As I drop to my knees...

I dimmed the shine of hope...

Because of fear of failure...

I killed my desires...

Because of fear of worthlessness...

I lowered my impact...

Because of fear of incompetence...

I destroyed my tower of success...

Because of fear...

I allowed my fear...

Because of I am undeserving...

I walk away to destroy more...

Because I am my own worst enemy.
