Not Enough

My grades are never good enough,
My poems are never good enough.
I don't do enough sports,
Can't keep my body healthy enough.

I don't make enough money,
Not pretty enough to get away with it.
I wasn't good enough to love right,
Did everything wrong, bit by bit.

Funny how doing everything wrong,
Is the only thing I manage to do.
Maybe I've just had enough of this,
Enough of the expectations, it's true.

I am enough, I just can't see it,
Don't know when to stop, can't beat it.
Expecting myself to be the best,
Feeling like I'm failing, never at rest.

I'm done feeling like I should be more,
When what I am is already in store.
