Enemy Of Mind Poem by SOPHIE MAYES

I’ve been to the gym 4 times this week!
But got intoxicated twice
Then ate like a pig

Oh dear
Enemy of mind
Why do we act like we’re all in decline?

I have no money
And bills a plenty
The job is a joke
I hide, crying gently

Oh dear
Enemy of mind
Why do we act like we’re all in decline?

I meet a man
He seems really great
Then I find he’s a freak show
My teeth start to grate

Oh dear
Enemy of mind
Why do we act like we’re all in decline?

Oh dear enemy, enemy of mind, my mind is my enemy, enemy of mine.
