Heavily Broken

For every one protected...
There's a million you won't touch...
You can spend your whole life trying...
And not accomplish much....

For every one that you take on...
Two more will be sent...
You can spend your whole life trying...
And not even make a dent...

Human to human, soul to soul...
Yet somehow most don't care....
Have we become accustom to it...
That reality is just unfair....

And in this moment of recognition...
I have a feeling that can't be spoken...
Seeing those I can't make a difference for...
It leaves me...heavily broken....

Just Enough...

Just enough memories least I forget...
Who I am, and where I'm from....
Enough adversity to give me strength....
To learn from and to overcome....

Just enough heart ache to see the beauty...
That lies deep within it in the soul....
Enough love to taste and feel...
A missing part that's never quite whole...

Just enough sorrow to create a void...
And from it treasure everything a little more...
The quiet moments, the unspeakable things...
Just enough peace to recognize the war....

Just enough sanity to keep me hanging on...
And enough courage to finally let go...
Enough intelligence to understand...
That I am all that I really know...

And If I could choose every last thing...
I don't think I would ask for much....
For I know enough to know what I need....
And all I need is....just enough....
