Enough

This is something I didn't really know how to articulate.

You walk around with a smile 

and dull eyes.

The lights have been beaten.

Shattered by

the constant chatter

of your reckless mind.

I sit by and watch

my own heart break

while my words 

of love fall on

deaf ears.

The world will dare you

to be pushed around.

To be kicked when

you're already broken.

The world will dare you

to get back up.

Brush that chip

of your shoulder, darling, 

before it weighs you down.

Take a look in the mirror,

and tell the girl I love

that you love her, too.

She is the motivation

for my future.

She is the sum 

of my strengths.

She is the end

of my trials.

She is the world,

and I will give her a love 

fit for that and more

so she can give herself just

enough.
