how much is enough?

[ wanted to write on the breakpoint of human endurance, don't have any idea how it turned out to be a poem. Anyway, thanks Mush, for the genuine positive feedback (It was genuine coz I didn't say I wrote it the first time) ]

How Much Is Enough?

When things are going from bad to worse,
When trails that ran smooth turn rough,
and each breath feels like a stab in chest.
You ask yourself, how much is enough?

Life feels like pushing against a wall,
Days have made you forget to laugh
rolling on in a dreary endless roll
You cannot help asking, how much is enough?

Gods playing mad dice with your life,
Devil making your mind a psychedelic canvas
painting them with colors of lunacy and strife.
You feel at last, this is enough

Searching for that elusive thing called peace,
wandering lost in the world devoid of senses,
you finally find it, all this time within your reach.
within your reach, when you finally realized what was enough

Hmm looks like my poetry skills have rubbed of on you ... Poetry is at its best when it is what you feel and not what you imagine ! you know what ,, now U make me insecure ,,, coz this poem is far better than a whole lot of my poems .. maan .. do I see a competitor !!! :-)

( Now what made you think that my feedback wouldn't have been genuine if I had known you are the poet at first )

How Much Is Enough?
You Am I


Would it stain
If the lights fell down on your name
And each face began to look all the same
How much is enough?
Did you ever want to just lose touch with everybody you know?
In the morning
When you've wiped his taste away
The last of the red and all the records you played
How much is enough?
Did you ever want to just lose touch with everybody who heard?

Did you ever want to join a collective
Throw a party just to make sure you missed it?
Did you ever want to be a collective?

Would you sell out
To the dealer with the lowest cost
And burn every proscenium floor
How much is enough?
Did you ever want to get in touch with somebody you hurt?

Offered up some kind of collective
So you can never ever be left selected
Did you ever want to be a collective?

If the lights, they fell
Do you think you could tell
just how much?
