I have had enough
Millie Gould
(Walsall)
I have had enough –
enough of the looks
enough of the names
enough of the cruel games
enough of the smirks
enough of the smoke
enough of the hurtful jokes
enough of the jeers
enough of the dizziness
enough of finding fault in things
that really aren’t their business.
enough of the tears
enough poking in backs
enough of the slaps and the violent attacks
enough of feeling small
enough of holding me down
enough of being the clown
enough of endless misery
enough of being strong
enough of keeping a smile on my face –
a smile that doesn’t belong
enough of the screaming
enough of the fights
enough of the sleepless nights
enough of the thunder
enough of the rain
enough of the terrible pain
enough of trying, yet failing
enough staring down at my shoes
enough of pretending I’m winning
when I know I’m on course to lose
I have had enough
