My Beloved, My Enemy - MG

Run.

To the ends of Earth, darling. To the lands of the dead. To the heavens or anywhere beyond the hereafter.

But,

not you, 

not me, 

can ever escape ourselves.

We are but our own worst enemies.

Lurking in the dark.

Exist but not.

Unseen but felt.

Never spoke but heard.

Kind yet cruel.

Oh my lover and my killer.

My salvation and my demise.

My best supporter, friend, and hater.

You are talented, they say.

But you are not, the little voice says.

You are beautiful, they say.

But you are not, the little voice says.

Who to believe?

Those who never understand us, or the one who always stays with us?

Those who only saw our facade, or the one who saw our wretched face?

Tame them and win, darling.

It's always the little voice over the voices of others.

Morph them, darling. 

Control them.

Befriend them.

Cause they are you and you can get them to believe in you more than yourself ever would.

Cause they are your biggest supporter and one who would always be there even if no one else could.

Your beloved,

or your enemy.

The right to decide has always been yours to make.

Commentary

MG, through her work 'My Beloved, My Enemy', sends the cut and dried message of one's dispute with their conscience. To be able to distinguish one's inner voice from the external influences is indeed a challenge but when fully mastered, it becomes a rich faculty. The state of inseparability that exists between man and his mind poses both as a conflict and a tool; 'a conflict' because of his innate tendency to favour outer opinions over intuitions and 'a tool' because when he harmonizes with 'these voices' and exercises his dominion upon them, then any possibilities of misleading and doubts part away. To make an unison with his conscience is the best effort man can make.
