I've had enough

I've had enough

I've had enough of clever words
I've had enough of rabbit holes
I'd prefer flighty to refer to birds
I'd rather deal with the whole of the soul

I've had enough of dodge and duck
I've had enough of wriggling room
I'd rather rely on sweat and not dumb luck
Who needs a witch with or without a broom

I don't like imitation human beings
I don't need pretend men
Just say straight out what you're seeing
And don't stand up for truth

Only every now and then

Because I've had enough
Of the mocking and ridicule
That comes from an arrogance
Entrenched and as stubborn as a mule

Don't talk basic and down with me
About the hard work of what has to be done
And then when the first verbal fire fight jumps off
Conveniently have some other place you have to run

I give you credit for your past
And all the good you've achieved
But I've not been the one here
Who in any way sought to decieve

All that happened was

I heard my name called
I answered like a man
I presented honest and real
When I took my stand

I don't need the sweet seduction
Of a bunch of soft fluff
I don't need the false assurance
Of always looking tough

Because

I'm not swimming with anchors
I don't need shirts overly stuffed
I think it says what I mean when I say

I've had enough

I've had enough of clever words
I've had enough of rabbit holes
I'd prefer flighty to refer to birds
I'd rather deal with the whole of the soul
