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.
