Antagonist

You keep appearing in my dreams like Freddy, trying to dissolve them You feignedly pose as kryptonite to my Superman If we were in a movie, you would be the villain and, of course, I would be the hero Yes! You're like 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 that midnight train to Georgia with no fright Steadfastly plodding my course of destiny toward that glorious morning light I see you, Michael, just lurking behind trees You want me shaking in my boots and pleading down on my knees But I'm a victor so begging and pleading are not part of me Onward I will travel toward my beautiful destiny A diamond in the rough, 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 still 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!
