Enough! Poem by Rose Marie Cook

Why aren't I
Worth the pain
Worth the fight
Deserving of your love

Why can't I satisfy you
Give you what you want
But it's never enough
Why aren't I enough

How can you have me
But feel like you don't
Put me through this
With no remorse

How can you yell at me
Fight with me
Love me and still say
It's not enough

What more do I have to give
Just to show I care
That you're my friend
That you're mine

Why is that never enough
Just to have me another day
To talk to me again
You don't need to label it

Where are you gonna go
Turn and walk away
Erase me from your life
Delete my existence

Where am I gonna run
When life's too much
The shiny friend tempting
Would you still save me

Would you still be there
If this is all you got
Would you stay with me
Or would you be gone

If this is all you got
Could you stay with me
How would you say good-bye
Would you say you're sorry

When you finally give up
I'll still wonder, why wasn't I enough
