My Biggest Foe
by Joey

Feeling the acute chill of self-delusion
Sliding out of the light
I’ve hit at the bottom of confusion
Nothing ever seems to come out right

Obtusely strutting in a halogen haze
Something’s still not right
Shining brightly in a self-let spotlight
I’ve wandered too far into this ego maze

My biggest foe is me
Perpendicular to my true self
Can there be hope for me?
Bring me back into reality

The difference between expectation and reality
Sums up all that I am
Sometimes I wonder why I can’t be
Happy with who I am
Seeking a solution to all my problems
I come across a man
He acts like he’s seen it all, knows it all, does it all
And just maybe he can

From out of circles of self and pride
I can shed my home-made catastrophes
I just lift my eyes
Finding a higher plane of understanding

My biggest foe is me
But parallel to him is my true self
There can be hope for me
I don’t need this world’s reality
