My Own Enemy:

— — — — — — — -

If it’s a bad choice,

I’m gonna make it.

If it’s a questionable conversation,

then, I’m sure I’m gonna say it.

If it’s the wrong way,

I’m bound to take it.

I’m all about mistakes and testing sensibility.

*

I give out second chances,

like salesman gives out deals.

I make decisions on a whim,

like -what to eat for my next meal.

I jump right in, then roll my eyes,

my life’s a gamble, roll the dice.

I forget myself completely,

Slick like Muhammad Ali on ice.

*

I don’t float gracefully like a butterfly,

but- they still flutter deep inside.

Each decision that I make,

It’s like they multiply.

I fight like a champ, determined,

till you show vulnerability.

Then I throw the match, defeated,

I am my own liability.

*

If there’s something that you want,

you don’t ask, you simply take it.

No worrying about my feels,
