Never. Enough.
They say it isn't my fault.
They say I'm not to blame.
They say I did all I could.
They say I'm...
A hero...
They say I fought for freedom.
They say I fought for what was right.
They say I gave more than enough,
They say I DID more than enough.
How do they know?
What could they know?
How dare they say I gave ENOUGH!
HOW DARE THEY SAY I DID ENOUGH!
I'M STILL ALIVE!
I'M STILL BREATHING!
I'M NOT A HERO!
I'm... not...
I could have saved someone...
I could've taken that shot...
I SHOULD HAVE saved someone.
I SHOULD HAVE taken that shot.
It should've been me...
Why couldn't it be me...
I failed them...
I failed everyone.
I didn't see enough.
I didn't do enough.
I didn't **** enough.
No... I wasn't enough...
I wasn't enough of a Marine.
I wasn't enough of a husband.
I'm not enough of a father.
I'm no longer human enough.
Can I be enough for once?
Can I be strong enough?
Happy enough?
Loved enough...
Someone...
Anyone...
I don't want to be abandoned again...
Ah... thats right...
There's not enough of me left.
No... there wasn't enough to start.
There could never be enough,
Because I started with nothing.
I could never be strong enough,
Since the foundation wasn't enough.
I thought I was enough...
But there isn't even enough
For me to dream...
I was never...
enough...
