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!
