He would look at me as though I was the world

And maybe for a while, I was

To him, I carried the stars in my eyes and held his heart in my hands

To him I am, but to me, I am not enough

I would smile for everyone, play my part and play it well

I helped everyone first, put myself last

For everyone else I am, but to me I am not enough

I was lost in my mind, fighting dragons, demons, and darkness

I lost myself in the briar of my thoughts, getting pricked and stabbed on the thorns

I was alone to fight the beast in my head

All I knew, was that I am not enough

The only thing I could hear was; "I am not enough"

And for too long, I believed it

Then something changed, a switch was flipped and the noise stopped

The sun came out and the dragon went to sleep

The battle quieted and suddenly I knew I could be okay

For the first time

I am enough
