Enough

Don’t I work hard and deserve a chance?
To be admired, to be hired or just asked to dance.
I never used to think that I wasn’t enough,
But getting a job, much less a man has been rough.

Rejection, disappointment, and loneliness too
This is my life, and no one has a clue.
Always wondering when I’ll finally be enough.
Afraid that I’ll leave and never be thought of

I try real hard to prove that I matter,
But the stillness of my apartment only makes me sadder.
I desperately need to be enough.
Make a life, get a job, and really be loved.

I need someone to really need me
I want to make my family smile proudly
I have to be enough
Stop being emotional and start being tough

I need to be seen, or at least be heard.
My desperation for their affection is quite absurd.
Tonight I wonder, Will I ever be enough?
Can anyone see the real me behind all this stuff?
