The Enemy Within

The Enemy Within "All cruelty springs from weakness." - Seneca Oh Yes. There is an Enemy Within. It lives within, feeds upon, you. Senseless, yelloweyed It informs all that you do. Born of your Hate, Pride, Ignorance It warps you daily, Makes every decision a folly. The pity of it is, You spent a life rewarded For every vile transgression Cheated of every lesson Worth knowing. So when the Darkness comes for you - As soon it must - Its black shape, the shape of your inhumanity, Will be awaiting by your bedside To claim you, Unlamented.
