Oratio: I Am (Not) Enough

Oh Lord how I worry so
that I am not enough
if only I would try harder
if only I were better looking
more likeable or smarter
then I would be loved
then I would be worthy
then I would be cared for
then I would be enough
and I would have no need
to worry or fear or want
or maybe I have it backwards
if only I had faith
that you are enough
then I would know
that I am enough
in you
because of you
in me
loving
caring
providing
enough
