Not Enough
I know that when I say this,
I am not alone.
I'm not the only that feels this way,
But rather one in many.
And in some way that makes it even worse.
No matter what I do I can't escape the masses.
How am I supposed to stand out, to make my mark?
I just get lost in the sea of other people.
Once I find something I feel I excel in,
Turns out so does everyone else.
It doesn't matter what I try anymore.
It's just never enough.
Its only my fault, I know.
I'm the one setting such high expectations.
Just once though I want to live up to them.
Just once I want to be enough.
