Enemy Inside

Sheri Ellis 1988 (Roseburg)

Rhymed
I want you to win
Reach for the Stars
Yet I pull at your skin
I leave you with scars
Begging for a breathe
Let’s get to the Top
Yet again I fill you with Disease
Please can you just Stop
I no longer want to Battle
I want to Love you wholeheartedly
Let me wrap you in a satchel
Wrap you in wholeheartedly Love
