I'M Done Poem by Courtney Redmond

I’m done!
I can’t do this anymore
Living life freely, and
Breathing are two different things.

No more tears can fall down this face.
But no
I’m shunned by the world
Is it because I’m not pretty enough for yours
Or anyone’s standards.
Or that I don’t weigh a size below a twenty.
What is it?
Am I too sporty for being a woman?
Does my wealth exceed yours so much?
That I scare.
Leave all the drama for your mama.

I’m standing here waiting,
For my rainy season to end.
The sun said it left for a while.
But what do I care?
The sun wont come back, nor
Will the past.
Only the future to slap me across the face
Leaving the red print of the days ahead.

I’m just done fighting the war
Between my heart and mind.
I don’t want to prove I’m worthy
When I already am.
Proving to you that I am the right girl is hard enough
But no I won’t sleep with you so I’m not important.
Screw it, so run off with the girl who will sleep with you
Cause I’m bigger then that.
You might think your keeping my rainy days here, but
They are just ending.
They might have stopped me for a while but,
I’m making it through
With God at my side,
I’m going to be done with the devil and,
And all his hellish mess.
