Enough

Enough

Will I ever be enough
For you to hold me tight
And not let me go
Even if I put up a fight

Will I ever find you waiting
The way I wait for you
Will our time apart
Make you nearly as blue

Will I ever be the light
That you follow through the night
Or will my shine be blurred
By the glare of those more bright

I've got my chest puffed with pride
I'll never beg, nor will I plead
And yet in search of your affection
I still find myself on my knees

So tell me if there's anything I can possibly do
To become someone that means something to you

Shall I change my form
To one that fits the norm?

Shall I change my hue
To a shade that suits you?

Shall I change my scent
To one that you don't resent?

Shall I change my sound
To one that makes your heart pound?

But even with all these changes
Maybe I'll just never be enough
Maybe despite all my efforts
I won't be the person you dream of

It's with this cruel realization
That my demons come knocking
With doubts and insecurities in tow
They're tired of all my stalling

They've come to collect a debt long outstanding
To shatter this confidence I've built
Out of cheap tricks and clever branding

So as I lean in to my defeat
Having failed even at my best
Answer me this one last question
Since you know me better than the rest

Will my feelings always go unanswered
Like they have with you?
Will I ever be enough
For someone to love me too?
