The Enemy Inside

There is nowhere you can hide

From the enemy inside;

Always wants to take and win,

It's the enemy within.

He's a trickster, a pretender

And he wants you to surrender;

Never giving up, he tries

To make you listen all his lies.

If you want, he disappears,

But you feed him with your fears;

You could make him go away,

But you're begging him to stay.

If you think your enemy

Is someone that you can see,

Look inside you and you'll find

That he's living in your mind.

Never asking how you feel,

He's the source of your ordeal;

Not as friendly as it seems,

He's a thief, he steals your dreams.

He is living in the past

And you give him all your trust;

He's upset for what you've done,

But he fears the things to come.

Not as strong as he pretends,

He attacks and he defends;

Worrying hour after hour,

You are lost, he gets the power.

Listen to your real guide,

Not the the enemy inside!

He's not you and in the end

You're in charge and you command!
