Never Enough


I've never been enough

I am a living paradox 

So complex that I'm not enough

Or I'm too much. 

So they'll take me for my body

   because they can't keep up with my beautiful brain. 

Then, they fade a

 w

    a

      y. 

You, were different. 

But it wasn't meant to be. 

And though you were trying to encourage me

All I heard was an echo,

   You need to be more confident. 

 

You kept coming back

And I never understood why. 

I thought it was just because I was easy...

I'm a passionate musician. I also enjoy running and working out (just as much as I enjoy food). I'm easy to make friends with and I try to be as honest and upfront as possible. Poetry is just another one of my muses so, I hope you enjoy it!
