MY ENEMIES AREN’T MY FOES

 

until my hunch pricks me 

and I’m hinted conspicuously

I dare not create fear and panic 

I’d have myself to blame  

though I see them always 

they pop up in one or twos 

but these people are happy and making merry 

I am the problem of myself 

I make the unimportant important 

give rating to what’s not germane 

open my arms out to hug my reflection

my enemies are blameless 

I treat people with kindness and love 

but graciously address myself in disscontempt

created a hollow within myself for hate 

I am my own complexity

truth be told 

my foes aren’t foes 

i am the fool, basking in my follies

swimming against the tides 

I am the enemy of myself

so much listen to what isn’t my concern 

search for stuffs that aren’t missing 

make friends with people I ought to walk past
