Worst Enemy

My worst enemy is...

Myself

I think the worst of everything...

I judge myself...

I question everything I do...

I wonder, is this the right thing to do?

I try to do everything perfectly...

I try to do what everyone asks...

 

But in my head, this is what happens

I want them to like me, and I want them to need me

I must be precise 

I don't want to be wrong or bad

To make sure I'm doing it right

I want people to like me, so I have to be more like them

I do it to keep me safe

 

But...

I'm just human...

I'm not perfect...

I can't control everything...

I should do what makes ME happy, not what others say I should do.

I should listen to my heart more than my mind.
