Enough

Enough “Rescue me from my own shadows, breath life to my failures light the darkest moments with simple acceptance smallest gestures, so natural mean everything, keep me from the edge… I was never good enough for you on my best day this truth I now know so here I am come find me look down and yell I speak out as well I sleep now in the smallest spaces tuck my world in around me ignore the faces they disappear and become impressions of a memory no less important the superficial is removed as it is no longer needed the clues I leave are the words but don't define me inspired by life itself good advice is never believed in time advice I leave you from beyond my tomorrow the ground holds me from you as you turn to leave I will be here or there always just ask I never left you even when enlightenment lead to a dark past truth is a treasure not shared equally by the masses to men things will be forgotten but forgiveness is not allowed women carry memories for-ever and will allow themselves to forgive never to forget creatures we are not are we all habits are taught decide for yourself what someone’s memory means know that some lessons were never told walk to your destiny empowered by histories lessons if you can life is a cycle to make advances less painful you break it by not allowing the bad to echoes past your chance to make change grasp it and hold it close as you watch mistakes fade my unanswered screams will eventually concede to the world, I am unable to leave time will acquaint me to my new home until the real me is allowed to carry on Enough
