Poem: Free Ourselves From Our Enemy

Original Poem by: John Ledford

We are our worst enemy

The ones that we should trust the most

The people that are supposed to be there for us

Are the people that tear us down

We build up these walls

To keep everyone out

And in the process,

We lock ourselves in

Fearing rejection from others

We become our own prisoner

But it doesn’t have to be this way

We can break free from our self-imposed prison

By reaching out to others

And letting them in

Only then can we truly start living

And only then can we begin to heal

Ourselves and each other

Only then can we be free.
