A Worthy Opponent

selfstruggles

You seem to think I am your punching bag
I have two clenched fists that dropped the white flag
You might knock me back but won't knock me down
I will wear your bruised ego like a crown
You get a special glint when you play with fire
I lick at flames like gasoline, sweat, perspire
You may have hurt me, but I have been through worse
I am in the trenches, but I drive the hearse
You struggle to understand a person like me
I am chained up, padlocked, yet I still remain free
You want this to end badly, but you lack the tools
I give you everything, but not the jet that fuels
I am the only writer of this script
You were the director but then you slipped
I wanted a villain, someone to blame
You can't escape, you and I are the same.

In answer to you author's note: Yes, I am my own worst enemy.
Not sure I completely understood this but I certainly am quite dense at times. At some points it made me feel like the person was talking to themselves and then, actually, an opponent as the title suggests.
It definitely has the Scoperiffic attitude and even though it is listed under self struggle there seemed to be a constant theme present and that was self determination that I (the author, not me) will not fail.
Glad to see you writing again. |

| I like the sentiment of this write. It is like looking in the mirror when you write and pondering the reality of what you see there. |

| What impresses me most about this is the way you maintained this wonderful rhyme scheme while ranting, if you'll excuse that term.So natural. |

| Agree with Nessa. I am pretty sure whats going on, but there is just enough void to leave one guessing ones self. By the by, good write. |
