I'Ve Had Enough

I've had enough Vs 1 I finally said enough's -enough Even though I'm not so tough My days and nights have been so rough so I finally stopped the bleeding Vs2 Everyday was filled with pain I thought I would go insane I've only got myself to blame Gonna catch a train this evening Chorus How can a man feel right, when it's wrong I put up with torture for so long I don't want to feel the shame, there's no one else to blame, I've had enough How can a man feel right, when it's wrong When you feel the truth burning so strong I don't want to feel the shame, There's no one else to blame, I've just had enough Vs3 I'm not sure where this road will take me All I know is they won't break me I need a place of peace and safety Where I know that I'll belong Vs4 The future isn't bright or clear I know I've got to get out of here There's no time for shedding tears Somehow I've got to be strong Chorus How can a man feel right, when it's wrong I put up with torture for so long I don't want to feel the shame, there's no one else to blame, I've had enough How can a man feel right, when it's wrong When you feel the truth burning so strong I don't want to feel the shame, There's no one else to blame, I've just had enough I don't want to feel the shame, There's no one else to blame, I've just had enough I don't want to feel the shame, There's no one else to blame, I've just had enough repeat and fade October 2,2019 John Derek Hamilton

I can relate very much so with this write John! Maybe not so much from a person but a sickness and I feel enough is enough and I'm tired of it taking everyone in my family! But I will fight it and win again! Thanks John this lifted my spirits today;)

Thanks Brenda, it seems like we all have these feelings for one reason or another, glad my words helped a little today!

John, when we are forced to handle tragedy or loss, some people give up. I like the energy for positive change in this poem. Sometimes we are too quick to judge ourselves, but you offer encouragement, something I and probably quite a few others need. When this poem came to you quickly, your subconscious mind released a powerful message. Very well written, John. Best wishes, Carolyn

Thanks Sandy, don't you just love it when it happens, you put down your pen and think, well, where did that come from? I'm glad at least it happened in the daytime, not at 2am like usually happens with me. Glad you can relate, feels worthwhile!

I can tell you this resonates with me this morning, maybe not the underlying theme so much but enough's enough is certainly on my mind today. It seems some don't want me on here and are attempting to scare me off like they have on another site I wrote on and at first I thought I would cave in but decided I am not going to be pushed around anymore. So thanks for posting this my friend, it helped a lot.

I can't imagine why someone wouldn't want you on this site...I can only think of jealousy...you just blew my mind...glad I can help in some small way with this write!

You got someone, ME - it resonated with me and while I felt the entire write, vs. 3 and vs. 4 especially rocked my insides. The chorus story-threads the feel seamlessly thru all the versus - your muse struck again when 'it just came to you' - I especially love penning and reading those writes; I believe they're 'inspired'. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

This is a wonder since it just came to you so easily especially - must have been inspired from above. It's a wonderful treasure that should be sung. God bless you

John, this is powerful! I think it could be true for many when they reach that point. I really love your voice here.
