The Enemy I Know Poem by Jennifer Petty

The Enemy I Know



I feel it now
- the pull of familiarity –
my feet pulling
me down
that old familiar road.

The urge to run to
the comfort
of what is known
- despite the knowledge
that it is miserable –

It is instinct
to retrace your steps
- the action is almost
an unconscious one.

But I do not have
the luxury of
repeating old patterns
- it will be my end.
