Poetry: Self-image

ENOUGH OF ENOUGH

Passed high school with just enough,
Poor college dropout..wasn't brave enough,
Working cuz she's broke enough,
Still at it cause she's not rich enough,
Promotion time, qualified enough,
But not too high, she ain't shrewd enough.
Pick on her first, looks weak enough,
Ooo, put ice on that, It looks swollen enough.
A fun girl, yeah, she smiles enough,
Only twice a year? man, she don't cry enough.
Plays fair, maybe that's why she don't win enough,
But it's aiight, losing also teaches well enough.
Just smart enough,
Just nice enough,
Just sweet enough,
Plenty deep enough.
Got just enough,
Just bright enough,
Has failed enough to learn enough.
Keeps tabs enough,
Hugs back enough,
Not white enough,
Not black enough.
Enough to make it, enough to break it...
Enough......
Enough.....
ENOUGH!
...............................Sometimes, I think I've had enough of being
.............just enough.
