9. Never Enough

"I wish I knew the answer. I wish I knew the answer too, you know?" Her voice cracked and her demeanor dropped. "I tried. I really did. I tried to be enough. But perhaps I never was, and I never will. Sure, I see changes in myself but it was a gradual process. I'm never enough for those that I care for greatly. I'm a constant let down. I tried to break myself apart so that I could rebuild in time. But it seems that I'm always too late, or simply not perfect enough. I wish I knew the answer to pleasing all that I hold dear." She let out a shaky breath.

"But whenever I whisper, it was only the eerie silence responding to me with the blowing wind resembling something like an echo from a hole. Perhaps that was the hole in my heart." She threw her head back, laughing at this point.

"Never enough. That's all I am - never enough."
