Enough

The sun had risenThe sun shines inAnd I’m forced to awakenTo this world of sin. The clock is tickingAs I lay in bedTime drags onAs I fantasize about being dead. I tell myself to “get a grip”People have had worseEveryone has told me thatBut it doesn’t stop the hurt So I’ve found myselfready to begin the dayand in the smiling faces of my friendsI can only think of fading away Why? Why me?Why is life unfair?Why am I only needed when no one else is there? Why do I tell my secrets to people I’ve never met?Why do people I see everyday have no idea yet? Why don’t they see my tired lifeless eyes?Why do I have to listen to my parent’s curses and lies? Why do I sit at the park until 3am at nightWhy do I have to be prevent my siblings from seeing my parents fight? Why is it that when I walk aloneIn the school hallway, I become a target zone? Why am I faced with adolescence abuseWhy didn’t they choose someone who isn’t already bruised? Why did someone I loveHave no time for me at allWhy did I destroy a relationshipAnd let 18 months fall Why did I build a friend shipThat I knew was going to endWhy did I let myselfGet hurt once again Why did this all take place in the course of a month?There’s only so much until I've had enough.
