Finally Enough

It used to be so easy

To let others get to me

 

'Not enough' they would say

And I would believe them

 

How many times did it take before I realized the power of their words?

How many times did it take before I realized the power of my own? 

 

Every 'not enough' I countered

'Not' dropped out of of existence

 

I became pretty enough, smart enough, tough enough

Words became soldiers that I could finally command

 

And I realize now

That 'not enough' is not enough to bring me down
