Words of a Poet

For never feeling like it’s enough…

It’s Never Enough
June 28th, 2008

My best always falls short
Short of your expectations of me
Not enough of what you want
What you need
It’s never enough.

I don’t say the right things
My words don’t come out right
It’s never what you want to hear
What you need to hear
It’s never enough.

My feelings never seem to be strong enough
You think you know how I feel
It’s never what you want
It’s never what you need
It’s never enough.

My heart is a wound
That isn’t deep enough
It’s not what you want
It’s not what you need
It’s never enough.

I give you all I can
I give you all I have
It’s never what you want
It’s never what you need
It’s never enough.
