I have had ENOUGH
of thoughts that circle
Which only seem to be a hurdle
Of playing by an unwritten rule
Of thinking that I am a fool
Enough of thinking I am not enough,
That love must hurt, and life be tough.
ENOUGH
Of being a prisoner to the past,
Of carrying guilt that shouldn’t last,
Of shrinking in familiar pain,
Of walking round the same old chain.
I’ve had ENOUGH
of inner fights,
Enough, enough
Of restless nights,
Of stories told a thousand times
That echo lies and dull my shine
So now
I stop, I breathe and feel.
And in the stillness, I begin to heal.
I forgive myself.
For not knowing,
For falling short,
For barely glowing
For being messy, human and flawed
For feeling like a massive fraud
Because perfection is just a well-lit lie,
A curated lens where the truth is shy.
Social feeds show polished frames,
But not the nights we hide in shame.
So I forgive
the parts I masked
The times I failed at every task.
The self I judged, the love I lacked
For myself and those who had my back
Permission to move on from the past
It is granted at long last
Move on now, no delay
We get one life to walk our way
I love you in the ups and downs
Right now and during my future meltdowns
I love you because you dared to break,
And rise again, for your own sake.
I love the next version of me
The once who is wilder, wiser, free.
I ignite the fire within,
This time we are going all in.
No more retreat, no more pretend,
No more waiting for the perfect end.
The moment is now and it is real.
This moment is where I choose to heal.
Because I have had enough of holding back.
Of self abandonment dressed in lack.
I choose the self who stands and sees
Who speaks with love, and walks with ease.
Enough is enough.
I know the road’s been rough,
But today’s a brand-new start
A chance to lead with heart.
No need to fake or spin
You’re ready now.
Go win
