Nonsense Rhymes - X (When the enemy is ME)

Man’s greatest battle,
Is not against an external entity..
But against someone,
Who shares his identity..

I can easily fight,
A foe I can see..
But how do I wage a war,
When the enemy is ME..

How do I win,
My battle against my vices..
How do I remove,
The cob-webs off mental crevices..

When I try to break free,
My fears clog the way..
When I venture into the unknown,
Apprehensions keep me at bay..

Inhibitions, Insecurities, Inabilities,
Attack me from within..
How do I CHANGE myself,
And rise above the chagrin..

I crave to challenge my limitations,
Break out of my shell..
Severing the barriers of self-doubt,
I want to rebel..

If I can beat myself,
If I can change for the better..
I would achieve what few do,
And unshackle my mind of every fetter..
