My Enemy Has Died Poem by M. Asim Nehal

My Enemy Has Died

Rating: 5.0


My enemy has died.
I am very sad today
he was the only enemy I could identify.

He was the one who is responsible,
for my growth and success,
his enmity drew me farther to prove him wrong,
and I, the determined, who never believed
in others, kept denying that he is enemy
for his contributions to instigate me,
I disbelieve in his theories and did the opposite
Yes, I believe in his sarcastic challenges.

His enmity for me, like that of a scorpion
constantly biting and intimidating,
with no mercy for relaxation,
with so many exaggerations:
he never climbed all over my nerve
nor did he do any backbiting,
neither rubbed me the wrong ways
unlike my other friends
who flattered me with false praises
Today, I am feeling little nervous
Who will inspire me now?
