writing The Greatest Adversary

[Shiki 5,855]

Consistently worrying, consistently thinking;

A mental battle ongoing day by day;

Distress-inducing, exponentially so.

 

It is a battle that I face alone;

No one can come to my aide;

This much is obvious to most.

 

There are no breaks, no, never;

Straining my brain at all times.

Simplicity will never be given to me.

 

What is it to be relaxed?

To be okay with things as they are?

To be okay with oneself?

 

If things continue, my brain will rot;

I can hardly bear it as things already stand.

What can I do to stop this?

 

Various methods, all failed.

Any attempt has been proven futile.

The only thing left is to run.

 

Where would I run to?

What would be the purpose?

There is no way to escape from it.

 

It is clear through the mirror.

With a scowl, it stares back.

Never have I felt so disapproved of.

 

A look of disappointment;

It seems to want to disregard me,

To neglect my existence entirely.

 

What can I do to earn its respect?

It seems as if it is impossible;

I have already been spoilt rotten.

 

Even when I look away, I feel it;

An immense level of hatred.

In the back of mind, it always sits.

 

I keep my attention elsewhere;

An attempt to avoid it altogether,

Though it never lasts for long.

 

I have to pass by the mirror again,

I try to brace myself for it;

The pain no one other could bring forth.

 

With its typical gaze, I sense malevolence.

I cannot shrug it off in the least.

I bite my lip and trudge past.

 

It is my one and only fear;

So powerful, it's unreal.

It is my greatest adversary;

My reflection; Myself.

This was really good!

 

It was worded well and had an excellent flow. And the best part: It had a very well put meaning and a good display.

Excellent Job Plum.

 

Its good to see you back.
