"If your eyes could speak, what... what would they say?" -Max (from "The Book Thief")


sometimes there aren't words bitter enough

to sting your tongue hard enough

to make you feel that you've said enough

to tell them how you feel

 

sometimes a glass half empty is not enough

to ink in pen lines long enough

to say that it is not enough 

to hold your feelings in

 

sometimes easy is hard enough 

because at the end of the day you've had enough

you think your soul is not enough 

to light a darkened room

 

sometimes life is cruel enough

to say that the world is messed up enough

so that suicide becomes enough

to free you inside your head

 

but know that now, enough is enough

being human is good enough

every smile is kind enough

to lighten a lead like load

 

but remember you are strong enough

that the world outside is kind enough

that every thought is amazing enough

to put sunshine in a soul

 

because you will always be beutifull enough

to make love that is bright enough

that lasts beyond long enough

to stay alive today

Wow, just lovely!! This is my favorite lines: "sometimes easy is hard enough because at the end of the day you've had enough" My only suggestion is to maybe not use the word enough so often? I mean, I understand that you did that intentionally but if you read it out loud, it sort of sounds funny. Other than that, it's soooo good!! :D
