I'Ve Had Enough

Like an ugly lion I roared Like a cute baby I smiled Tried to scare Zillions, Tried to fool dullards. But everywhere I'd always carried sweet cute face But my smile was so fake could match Chinese lace I roared but all said "ncoow.. sweet little thing" I went home to come back with a smile, But they roared instead, "you rat good for nothing". They ain't mistaken, I'm no Lion! They ain't mistaken, I'm no smiley! But I'm afraid to take off my mask, Not for my sake but theirs. They are my brothers, my blood sisters. I don't wanna scare jealousy out of them. I really love them wholeheartedly But since they showed in many ways not to care, I think that would make me a fool to care. Yaay, I cared, I loved and of course I died for them. But that was enough, enough to feed 5000. I'm pulling off the strings, because there's no use. I know envy will kill millions but hey...I don't care. I'm just enough, to my greatest ability. BEWARE...I'm mask off now...

Interesting, next to last piece published on this site, on my 66th birthday, when I was feeling so silenced and marginalized by retirement and ageism.
