Enough Is Enough I Said
force a smile
before i rest my head
fake it
take it or leave it
no one said
you have to believe it,
sometimes it's just better
when you're under the weather to
let it roll until it's gone
pretty soon before long
healthy once strong
let it go
like cars just passing by
sometimes it makes sense
not to cry
hold it in until it's gone
or at best relents
repents pays back
again you are fond
of the breeze tickling the hairs on your neck
and the familiar scents from the northwest winds
little things precious enough to
store in a jewelery box
to look at and feel
and smile about
things that warm and build me back to
the place i belong
time my friend
and how you fill it
anger wastes so much
so don't go down with that kind of passion
drive on drive on
again drive on
in a tasteful fashion
fake that smile
pretend to brighten your face
in a little while,that familiar place
you crave will taste
will be home
again
again
again
