When will I be enough?

When will I become successful?

When will my effort be enough?

When will I get my flowers?

I work hard, maybe it shows?

But I probably will never know.

"I don't want to help you."

"I don't care to help you."

"Don't do things that way."

It is tiring, yet here I am.

When will enough be enough?

I want to be enough for something.

I want to be able to show how good I am.

But I cannot.

It will not be enough.

It won't ever be.

Maybe it's something I have to accept.

Not enough time.

Not enough effort.

Not enough for anyone or anything.
