Am I not enough?

Am I not enough?

I question myself

Of my rebellious facade, to conceal my fears

You are not competent, the inner voice that I hear

The struggle to reach the finishing line

How do I cope up in this race against time?

The exorbitant effort to finish those simple tasks

Those anxious feelings that I now know how to mask

Am I not enough?

I still question myself

Of my success when they accolade

With me why the praise doesn’t resonate

I keep looking to scale new heights

How much ever I do, nothing feels right

To those self imposed standards I hold on tight

With myself, a thousand battles, I everyday fight

I am different, I heard them gently whisper

What does it mean? I struggle to infer

Whatever it means, it breaks my heart

To belong to the tribe I still can’t perceive my part

I am not one of them, I now know

Does it mean I am not enough?

I still question myself
