Analysis of Enemy (TW for self-injury)
I find myself often staring,
Watching my enemy closely
From a careful distance away.
I know if I step any closer
I might just get sucked into
The temptation to hurt.
Knives and razor blades
Have become my enemies,
And I’m trying not to get sucked into
The black holes of temptation
To harm and hurt myself.
