My Greatest Enemy

A superhero fights the villain,
Conquers them and treats them worse
And wins all the honor

But my story’s a little different,
Mainly with a different villain,
Someone you would not want to know

Armed not, 
She’s filled with words,
That pierce into your soul.

That stab you in the heart,
And make you want to go

But, oh no its not that obvious,
Or else someone would’ve stopped it,
She is the sneakiest girl I know

She brings me down every time
All that spills out her mouth are lies
She never lets me go

My greatest enemy
Is me, myself, and I

She calls me worthless everyday,
Saying that I’m not worth even a dime

Oh, my greatest enemy
She seems super friendly
But she’s not that kind
On the inside
But why does it have to come from me?
If I could just be free
