****

Over and over

I argue this and that.

Maybe not the little things,

Maybe just a few.

Sometimes out loud,

others deep inside.

A constant guilt trip,

never smart enough--

never fast enough--

never thin enough--

never there enough--

never good enough...

Well I can yell,

as loud as my lungs will let me,

from the top of this city,

where I pour in my pity,

to the one with the knife that cuts the deepest,

with a sharpness that makes me feel the cheapest,

ENOUGH!
