My Worst Enemy
It touches the lips
Like a spiteful kiss
Its bitter sensation
Removes all elation
The end is near
The substance is here
In the pit of my stomach
It consumes fairly quick
It painfully fuses
With my digestive juices
I feel sharp pangs
Due to the fangs
Of a cunning viper
Of a determined sniper
Even though
I very well know
They are not the adversary
For I alone carry
The guilt of my infliction
The climax of my addiction
With the worthlessness of life
The monotony of strife
I am my worst enemy!
I am my final remedy!
The solution to my existence
Lies in nonexistence
And there is no going back
For I already feel the lack
Of veins flowing through
Of oxygen too
My insides are burning
My eyes are hurting
Everything becomes a blur
My intestines stir
I become utterly weak
Images become bleak
Little by little
My senses whittle
It has taken longer
The intensity is stronger
I thought it’d be fast
But I realize at last
Minutes become hours
Now in the last hour
But the last second
Is about to depict the end
Of all my pain
Of all my stains
Finally I inhale no more
Now in front of a glowing door
An evil, mocking cynic
Compliments the use of arsenic
I wanted to feel proud
Instead I shouted aloud
Words drowned in my throat
The mocker began to gloat
His satirical smile
Was driving me wild
The scorching fire
Was making me tired
I wanted to leave
I wanted to grieve
Back in the earth
I felt lacked mirth
But you don’t know despair
Until you feel the sun in the air
Until you breathe a flame
And can’t utter your own name
My decision is irrevocable
My destination unchangeable
I smolder, I blaze
Eternally nostalgic for the days
