NOT ENOUGH

Not black enough
Not white enough
Not tall enough
Not short enough

Not patois enough
Not English enough
Not Westmoreland enough
Not Jamaican enough

Not sharp enough
Not flat enough
Not R&B enough
Not reggae enough

Not fat enough
Not slim enough
Not him enough
Not her enough

Not woman enough
Not man enough
Not gay enough
Not straight enough

Not nice enough
Not mean enough
Not here enough
Not there enough

Not smart enough
But definitely dumb enough
To think that you're not enough
Be enough
Be more than enough

Talk enough
Smile enough
Exercise enough
Do enough
Do more than enough

Eat enough
Dance enough
Don't be nuff
Love nuff nuff

Never let anyone make you feel like you're not enough. This is Mario's public service announcement for the day. Inspired by the statement "But you don't seem Jamaican", and "You don't sound Jamaican", and all the others throughout the years of my life. Always therapeutic to blog vent. Peace. And i'm ALL good. I know i'm enough!
