The enemy
To remain objectiveto a closer callSecretly rejectedand to mediocrity fallcaught on the downslopes of life
The patted shoulder remembersThe elbowed side resistsEncircled ad nauseumAn enemy to define ourselvesAn enemy to refine our hate
Encouraging on the negative scaleBent out of shape is the measuring normIn words and in writingNo one knows my enemy like I do
A social repellant(not) merely an adversaryLost to the failing wordsKept the last of allunderstood glancesto work against
The patted shoulder remembersThe elbowed side resistsEncircled ad nauseumAn enemy to define ourselvesAn enemy to refine our hate
