I've had enough
of people
telling me to hope
Recently, I've had enough
of people
telling me to suck it up
because I couldn't
control everything

Why should I always
be the one who has to
bite my tongue
as life gets its way
—lashing at me
with its cruel game

Why should I be
the only one who has to
walk in the dark
as my own light moves
so far from my eyes
—drowning me with thick air
I can't even begin
to breathe in

I've had enough
of people
telling me to hold on
Recently, I've had enough
of people
telling me that things
will be better

If better days are coming
why aren't they here yet?
If fulfilled dreams are due
why am I still slaving
away in the world?

In the course of my life
I've had enough
of people
telling me to hope
—that there are bright
futures for me
coming to my view
I've had enough
of people
telling me to hope

But after years
I find that
hoping is all
I ever do
