I have had enough


This time, when I get bruises,
I will not blow softly at my wound,
Nor try and distract myself,
I will let my pain grow;
I have had enough.
This time, when I feel it growing in me,
I will not hum a song to ease it,
I will let the it seep deep in my bones;
I have had enough.
This time, I won’t smear a balm,
Nor will I shut my eyes,
Nor will I turn my head,
At the sight of my naked wound;
I have had enough.
This time, when life comes tumbling down,
I will not have a superficial take on it,
I will let it become thorny and real;
I have had enough.
This time, I won’t sacrifice a single day at work,
Nor succumb to the comfort of my cocoon,
I will not let life retire to ease and peace;
I have had enough.
This time, my wounds need to be delved into,
Carefully,
With much patience,
Determination and decision,
I had to end it somewhere;
This time, I have resolved.
