IT'S NOT ENOUGH

IT'S NOT ENOUGH

I can't be smart enough
or pretty enough
or mechanical enough
at all.

Though books stay open
and make-up applied
and cars get fixed
I still fall ...

I fall short of my dreams
and short of my hopes
and short of the expectations
of all.

It's not enough to be me
it's not enough, I can see ...
It's never enough -
down I fall.
