Enough
What do you do when times get tough,
How do you cope when you've had enough.
When, no matter how hard you try to please,
The burden you carry just doesn't ease.
When you have done your best, and yet,
Another problem arises and has to be met.
Is it worth it all, you may ask yourself,
Or should you just go and hide on the shelf.
When you sit outside and admire the view,
Are you tempted to just let it wash over you?
Do all these questions just generate more,
Is it now time to walk out of the door?
There was a time we faced problems head on,
It's so hard to do now the joy has gone.
Our house once rang with laughter and fun
How sad we can't go back to where we begun.
