Maybe I was not clear enough vs Maybe I was not

Both choices are correct, but they are used in different contexts. 'Maybe I was not clear enough' is a complete sentence that is used when someone wants to express that their previous communication was not easily understood. 'Maybe I was not' is a fragment that can be used to say that the speaker was not something, but it requires additional context or words to be a complete thought.
