Analysis of Enough
Amara Allie 2002 (Paarl)
I often feel, I'm not enough
For him, for me, for those who love
I strive and try, to meet their eye
But deep inside, I hear a sigh
The weight of expectations, heavy
Drains my soul, I feel unsteady
I want to be, enough for me
To break the chains, and be set free
I long to live, without the weight
Of others' thoughts, and their critique
To find a way, to be okay
And love myself, in every way
For its a journey, to be sure
To learn to love, and self-secure
But step by step, I'll find my way
And be enough, come what may
