ENOUGH
"Enough" is one of the most heartfelt songs I've ever written.
I wrote it for anyone who has ever questioned their worth because of rejection, disappointment, heartbreak, failure, or the impossible standards the world places on us. It's a reminder that our value isn't determined by someone else's opinion, our past mistakes, or the scars we carry.
We are enough.
The song follows the journey of a woman who has endured pain and hardship but refuses to let those experiences define her. She may carry the marks of her battles, but those same experiences have shaped her strength, her compassion, and her resilience.
When I sing, "You're enough when the world feels rough... No need to change, no need to prove," I'm speaking to every person who's ever felt unseen or believed they had to become someone else to be accepted.
You don't.
Your imperfections don't diminish your beauty—they tell the story of your survival.
One of my favorite lines in the song is, "Every tear has shaped your song." I believe our struggles don't disqualify us; they prepare us. Every challenge, every setback, and every victory becomes part of the masterpiece we're creating with our lives.
Musically, I wanted "Enough" to feel warm, intimate, and encouraging. It's a song I hope people return to whenever they need to be reminded of who they are and what they already possess inside themselves.
If this song reaches someone who's struggling with self-worth, then it's accomplished exactly what I hoped it would.
Remember this:
You don't have to earn your value.
You don't have to prove your worth.
You don't have to become someone else to deserve love.
You have always been enough.

Lyrics
ENOUGH
Written, Produced and Performed by Derrick D’MAR Martin
[Verse]
She's walked through shadows dark as night
Her heart's been bruised yet burns so bright
A million cracks but still she stands
Holding pieces in her hands
[Chorus]
You're enough when the world feels rough
You're the fire when the road gets tough
No need to change no need to prove
The world spins 'cause of the love in you
You’re Enough
[Verse 2]
She hears the whispers doubts her name
A mirror shows her scars not shame
Through the storms she's found her fight
A warrior built from broken light
[Chorus]
You're enough when the world feels rough
You're the fire when the road gets tough
No need to change no need to prove
The world spins 'cause of the love in you
You’re Enough
[Bridge]
They can't define what makes you whole
You're the artist and the soul
Every tear has shaped your song
You're enough you've been all along
[Chorus]
You're enough when the world feels rough
You're the fire when the road gets tough
No need to change no need to prove
The world spins 'cause of the love in you
You’re Enough
