Am I enough?
It's a simple question
Am I doing enough?
Am I pretty enough?
Am I smart enough?
Am I skinny enough?
Am I shallow enough?
Am I quiet enough?
Am I confident but not arrogant?
Do I fit the mold that society wants me to be?
You always said yes.
Now, am I numb enough to see you everyday and say nothing?
Am I dead enough on the inside to keep walking when you pass me by?
Am I deaf enough to hear your voice at night and remain silent?
Am I stupid enough to know this isn't love and label it as such?
Why isn't love enough?
Why do I say I love you?
Why am I not enough?
Am I enough?
It's a complicated answer.
