Enough - A Steven Universe Inspired Original Song

A song inspired by Smoky Quartz, exploring their struggles with confidence and self esteem. My hair turned out a little weird in this one, lol. I had a lot of fun writing this one and I hope you guys enjoy!! :D

Lyrics:

From a puff
Through the clouds
Hazy and
Smoky
I arrived
Wondering
Who I am
Why they chose me
Tricks galore
Give 'em more
Knock 'em out
Lively
Do it up
Got the magic touch

But someone somewhere deep inside my psyche calls my bluff
A voice repeating "you are not enough"

I know there's much to learn
I am unseasoned, I am small
And though I'm both of them
Neither have learned that much at all
About their inner worth
That they are more than they've become
So I get twice the curse
That's where the doubt comes from

I will never disappear into a burst of dragonflies
And I won't try
I can't shoot a magic arrow, I'm not all that tough
How can I believe that I'm enough?
Trying to ignore it doesn't seem to work for us
Help me to believe that I'm enough

Half misfit, half mistake
Place bets - How long until we break?
When there's so much at stake
It gets demanding to be brave
Clandestinely we try
To wear our difference with pride
Three arms stretch open wide
Into the dark I cry

I am twice the insecurity they've bottled up
But only I can tell me "I'm enough"
I may be defective, but they've built me up with love
Maybe that alone makes me enough

You can keep your arrows, keep your muscle, keep your dragonflies
'Cause I'm just fine
I'll be fine

Q: "Can I use one of your original songs for a video/make a cover of one of your songs?"
A: Yes, just make sure to give proper credit (a link to my original video would be appreciated). :)

THIS VIDEO IS NOT MADE FOR KIDS - IT IS MADE FOR GENERAL AUDIENCES. I AM AN ADULT WHO CREATES THINGS THAT I ENJOY, FOR OTHER PEOPLE LIKE ME. MANY OF THESE THINGS INCLUDE ANIMATION AND GAMES, WHICH ARE FOR EVERYONE. IF ANY OF MY VIDEOS ARE MARKED AS "MADE FOR KIDS," THEY WERE MARKED BY YOUTUBE'S FAULTY ALGORITHM - NOT BY ME.

I AM IN NO WAY AFFILIATED WITH STEVEN UNIVERSE OR CARTOON NETWORK. THIS IS A FAN-CREATED SONG.
