Just Enough

JUST ENOUGH Just enough water that still leaves thirst. Just enough effort for second, not first. Just enough heartache to make you bitter. Just enough fear to label you quitter. Just enough anger to justify your hate. Just enough arrogance that seals your fate. Just enough hardness to harden your heart. Just enough pride to keep you apart. Just enough lies to blind you to truth. Just enough regret to long for your youth. Just enough church to make you feel proud. Just enough walls to keep out the crowd. just enough doubt that mocks your belief. Just stubborn enough that you refuse relief. Just enough words that hurt, don’t heal. Just enough truth betrays what you feel. You’ve done enough to just get by. Neither hot or cold nor low or high. What were you thinking as you began the trip. Afraid to drink deep you just took a sip. Your master is back an account he demands. You stand before him with empty hands. What he entrusted, you took and buried. You did not share, you refused to carry. You took it easy and hid your stuff. He expected more of you you did just enough.
