It's Time For Me To Get Tough! Poem by Mary Nagy

It's Time For Me To Get Tough!



That's it!
No more excuses!
I'm laying down some rules!
Just so you don't misunderstand...
I'm tired of you fools!

It's time for me to get tough!
No more ''Oh, that's ok.''
I've had all I can take from you
And things will change...
TODAY!

I mean it.
I'm not kidding!
You'll be begging for a break!
No matter how much you may beg
That's it...for heavens sake!

What's that?
A tear?
Don't do it.....I said I'm being tough!
Now you want a hug from me?
I guess you've suffered enough!
:)
