Not Enough

by The Flame Within   Mar 18, 2005


I would go to the store, where the people new my name

i walk by waving enjoying my fifteen minutes of fame

i pick up a few items just to eat some stuff

i hand over some bucks, and the clerk cays "Thats not enough"

i feel my face turning red, i go back for my wallet

i know i dont have it but i search every pocket

i feel so stupid knowing i don't have enough.....

the clerk tells me its OK and he calls my bluff

i say thanks deep from within my heart

lucky for me that i didn't take a cart

if i did that would have been an ugly scene

it makes me feel good that the clerk wasn't mean

but this is how it has always been, and its starting to get tough

I'm not sure on what to do, i seem to never have enough

    true story? Well, I def. know what that's like. hate it so much. live with it every single day. I had a better day, I hope you did too!!! I'm feeling a bit cheery actually, how are you? Not having enough isn't the end of the world, but its definitely a heart breaker sometimes. I'm sorry that this may have happened to you. Someday, if you work hard enough for it, you'll have more and so will I.

    The rumors spread today and they of course traveled to me. I had people asking me questions about if 'it' was true and I told them the truth. I didn't think it was right to lie, so I didn't. I was so happy because I had you in my head the entire day!!!! Thanks babe, if it weren't for you, I don't know who I'd be, or even what happens!! thanks!! lots of love!
