Enough is Enough: A Pantoum

My bruised and broken boundaries, 
A hopeful heart not hoping now. 
You're oppressive and it scares me: 
My life is mine so take your bow. 

A hopeful heart not hoping now: 
Shining shame placates my smile. 
My life is mine so take your bow; 
Still, we hide behind denial. 

Shining shame placates my smile 
You're twisting words; I've lost my voice. 
Still, we hide behind denial: 
Enough's enough, I've made my choice. 

You're twisting words; I've lost my voice, 
My bruised and broken boundaries. 
Enough's enough, I've made my choice; 
You're oppressive and it scares me.
