My Worse Enemy

They tell me
that they want me,
but I see the lies
in their eyes;
They mirror my feelings
for myself,
the hate;
the ugliness;
the hurting
feeling of unwanted.
At night,
I take a lonely
walk to my bathroom
and look in the mirror.

I see something
that ain't me.
What happened
over the years?
What made me this...
thing?
I am nothing anymore
and my worse enemy
is me.
That gurl looking back at me
just wasn't me.

I traveled away
to find myself,
but in the end
the mirror
was still cracked.

I lost myself
in the worse
kind of way.
My worse enemy
is me.
