I AM NOT THE ENEMY
<p><br/></p><p>Wicked, sinful, evil… what name have I not been called?</p><p><br/></p><p>Every time your spine tingles, somehow I'm the villain of the story.</p><p><br/></p><p>You try to mask your cowardice with the fact that I'm present.</p><p>But deep down, you know that's not true.</p><p>Because even when I'm on vacation, you'll never do it anyway.</p><p><br/></p><p>I've been misunderstood for far too long, and as the Yorubas would say, "asiko òrò ti tó."</p><p><br/></p><p>I am not an invader.</p><p>Not a monster under your bed.</p><p>Not the shadow you think is waiting to swallow you.</p><p><img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/1000347484.jpg"/></p><p>We share the same corridor, and I only speak when you're not paying attention.</p><p>Please stop trying to shut me away. I'm not a predator.</p><p>I do nothing but remind you of reality.</p><p><br/></p><p>You're all very quick to judge me.</p><p>As if I ever pointed a knife at you.</p><p>You scrape me with a butcher's tool every day.</p><p>Every moment you dump accusations on me.</p><p><br/></p><p>I know my truth can sometimes be scary.</p><p>But if you listen closely… I'm not the enemy.</p><p><br/></p><p>Wait. Wait. Don't go yet.</p><p><br/></p><p>That sting in your chest? That's not me.</p><p>That's the arrow your conscience shot when you weren't looking.</p><p><img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/1000347485.jpg"/></p><p>I'm here to make sure you don't get in trouble.</p><p>If you look over that mountain one more time, you'll fall.</p><p>Don't blame it on me, please — you're not scared of heights.</p><p>That's just a survival truth.</p><p><br/></p><p>Before you run, hear what I'm saying:</p><p><br/></p><p>I'm not here to stop you.</p><p>I'm here to stop you from destroying yourself.</p><p><br/></p><p>Call me fear if you want.</p><p><br/></p><p>But someday… you'll realise</p><p>I'm the only truth that ever tried to save you.</p>
