I've Done Enough

"I've done enough" I whisper to the night Fought the good fight with all my might Tried to be good but they dim my light I'm just a shadow in their endless plight I've walked miles in these worn-out shoes Tried to spread light but it's like I always lose Gave my all but they only abuse My good intentions they just misconstrue Every step forward they pull me back In their eyes I'm just another hack Trying to be kind but they always attack In this game of life I can't seem to crack Tossed and turned I've seen the night's fury My vision clear but my eyes get blurry Speaking truths but they still jury Judge and sentence without a worry I try to build they aim to destroy My efforts genuine theirs just a ploy A cycle of pain they seem to enjoy My spirit battered they treat like a toy In this storm I find my voice Rising above reclaiming my choice Lend a hand they take an arm Try to stay calm amidst the storm A heart that's warm now feels forlorn In this game I'm just a pawn Their words cut deep like a knife to the bone Standing in a crowd yet feeling all alone My kindness a seed but it's never grown In the field of their scorn it's forever sown Echoes of my steps in these empty halls Each good deed ignored or it just appalls Speaking truths but they still jury Judge and sentence without a worry I try to build they aim to destroy My efforts genuine theirs just a ploy A cycle of pain they seem to enjoy My spirit battered they treat like a toy In this storm I find my voice Rising above reclaiming my choice In this world where truths get twisted My earnest deeds somehow resisted I stand tall though I'm listed As a villain when I just assisted But I know my worth won't let it slide My conscience clear I've nothing to hide "I've done enough" my final stride In my heart I'll take pride I've done my best it's time to say I'll find my path make my own way With head held high I'll face the day 'Cause I know I'm good no matter what they say
