Enough
Enough
Do I need your validation?
God forbid! I’d rather die
Who decides if I am worthy?
I would think not you, but I
As you scornfully will eye me
And pretend that you don’t see
All the richness of my blessings
Just because you are not me
Compliments were never granted
Though I craved a few or more
And I know that I deserved them
But you kept me starved and poor
Still you lingered in my presence
Or was it the other way around?
All the while you would be gleaning
The things in which I would abound
Even though I felt your envy
I would fool myself instead
That your friendship did me favors
So I followed while you led
And I gave while you were taking
Not one time I would rebuff
Till one day I took the courage
And I sternly said ’Enough!’
Now you say my sudden actions
Made you feel much hurt and pain
Well I’m sorry but I had to
So I could get off your chain.
