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 everythingWhy should I always
be the one who has to
bite my tongue
as life gets its way
—lashing at me
with its cruel gameWhy 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 inI've had enough
of people
telling me to hold on
Recently, I've had enough
of people
telling me that things
will be betterIf 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 hopeBut after years
I find that
hoping is all
I ever do
