Good Enough

Am I good enough now
I got into college and plan on being a doctor, 
But I guess it does not count because I don't have the grades you want
Am I good enough now
I finally found my sense of style and I know how to match,
But because it's in all black it does not count because bright is what they want
Am I good enough now
I spend a lot of time studying and I try my best,
But apparently that makes me a loner and no fun you wanted me to party
Will I be good enough
If i get all A’s and still manage to go to parties 
Will I be good enough
If i add more color to my wardrobe and be the pretty princess you want
Will I be good enough 
If I do what you want me to do and if I am who you want me to be
I will never be good enough
I can't be what you want without losing myself
I will never be good enough
I can't go out all the time and have great grades because being pre med is hard
I will never be good enough
I like how I dress it expresses how I feel and how I want to be seen
Do I need to be good enough
I feel like I do,
But it is making me miserable trying to be someone other than myself
I don't need to be good enough
