Antagonist
You appear in my sleep like Freddy to dissolve my dreams
You pose as kryptonite to my Superman
If we were a movie you would be the villain and of course, I would be the hero
Yes!
A minuscule Mr. McGhee to my Incredible Hulk
You faintly appear as a STOP sign when my light
shines a vibrant green
GO!
Yes, I am going like a freight train in the middle of the night
Steadfastly plodding my course of destiny toward that glorious morning light
A diamond in the rough, a once dull surface is now shining brightly
Keep the reel rolling as the plot thickens
Oh yes! I'm writing my masterpiece line by line just call me Mr. Dickens
As my character effortlessly aggrandizes
There you are cowardly lurking and wishing for my demise
But like the mighty 'Phoenix' out of ashes, I RISE!
No surprise! For it is true, I rise. Yes, I RISE!
