Invisible Enemies

The light is gone, the night sets in,
You hear their steps, but they’re born from within.
Invisible, soundless—they’re right here at hand,
You feel every footfall in depths you can’t stand.

Like a cold shadow, pressing on your soul,
You can’t see it move, yet it’s taking control.
Those steps—your invisible enemies roam,
Hiding in corners you once called your own.

They stay out of sight, but you sense their breath,
Each step is a battle, you fight to the death.
These invisible foes—your thoughts running wild,
Following you like a shadow exiled.

No matter how hard you struggle or strive,
They sneak in and rob you of peace still alive.
These foes are your doubts, your own insecurity,
A heavy dark presence that trails you with surety.

Even when you’re eager to stride straight ahead,
They halt every move and leave dreams left unsaid.
Those invisible foes—your fears deeply sown,
Like cold, creeping darkness that chills to the bone.

You fight them with all of your spirit and might,
Yet they find a way to invade you at night.
Those invisible foes—your worries so steep,
They cut through your heart, banishing sleep.

They come when it seems that all’s calm at last,
But fear is still lurking, so silent yet vast.
These invisible foes—your doubts in the fray,
Stealing each hope like a shadow of day.

No matter how fiercely you push them aside,
They return, tearing faith, draining trust from inside.
Invisible foes that have grown with your years,
Born of harsh words and betrayals, and tears.

They left their mark that no time can erase,
They showed up when trust had collapsed into space.
Each blow struck deeper than any real bruise,
Etching your psyche with scars you can’t lose.

But you learn not every fight must be won,
Each fall makes you stronger than when you’d begun.
You start finding strength where you once felt so weak,
And realize in darkness, there’s light that you seek.

You learn to let go, trust the course of your ride,
Accept some things never will shift to your side.
You stop fearing failure—you see it can be
Another small piece of your growth’s legacy.

Mistakes aren’t the end but a chance to unfold,
Revealing more power inside than you’d told.
You treasure those moments of weakness and doubt,
For that’s where the mightiest forces break out.

Those invisible foes will slip further behind,
Even when darkness returns to remind.
You’ll know these battles can’t last endlessly,
You’re stronger than fear, and you’re learning to be free.

You’ll rise from your knees any time that you fall,
In every slip, you’ll find strength to stand tall.
Though life may get heavy, there’s hope you can find,
A spark in your soul that no night can unwind.

And though you may stumble again and again,
You’ll stand up once more, holding fast to your plan.
You’re stronger than all that can come in your way,
For your power is faith and self-love every day.
