Just Once

You're good, but not enough.

You're strong, but not enough.

The world expects me 

to do all they see

in all the others. 

For once, 

I want them to say;

You're enough.

They look up at someone else, they see me

and expect the same.

But not enough.

I'm not them, They're not me, but it's not enough.

They see her...and they see me, 

expecting me to be her. 

For once, just once, I'd like to hear;

You're enough.

You live up in my eyes.

You're enough. 

I'm not her, I'm me.

For once look past her, just once. see me. 

I have a dream, it's not hers.

For once,

just

once. 

Tell me:

You're enough. You're not her.

You are you.

Just...just once,

Can I be enough?
