Your Enough

You close your eyes, but its not dark enough

You cover your ears, but its not quite enough

You try to scream, but its not loud enough

No one understands when you try to explain

You have a home, your alive, don’t fucking complain

When it feels there’s no escape… what do you do? How do you cope?

How do you express that you’ve lost all hope?

Beaten down, broken up, and torn apart

What’s even the point of having a heart?

It only seems to bring tears and sorrow

Would anyone notice if it stopped beating tomorrow?

But then there’s a flicker … of an emotion once buried

It almost seems to lighten the load of burdens you carry

For a split second, the world doesn’t seem to hate you as much

But reality sets in, your still broken, still a mess

What gives you the right to feel anything less

But this voice doesn’t hold as much power, no longer feels so damning

You haven’t won the war, but as always, your still standing

Remember the flicker, every time your world burns

Because

It may never be dark enough

Or quite enough

But YOUR enough
