NEVER ENOUGH

What do you do when you never feel like you are good enough? Is everyone that way? I know the easy answer is to surround yourself with people that make you feel good enough but it really isn’t that simple. In fact, these feelings can be downright complicated.

I can turn the best intended scenario or circumstance into something to be insecure about. It can be a word, a look, a strange smile. Sometimes, you will never be good enough for someone because you aren’t the person they are looking for. Maybe at one point you were exactly the right person but for complicated reasons people change.  I want so desperately to be ENOUGH….but when is ENOUGH never ENOUGH???

I used to see you
Clearly focused
Lovingly on our future
You overlooked
My insecurities
My insane habits
My messy tendencies
You comforted me
When I cried
Even when you
Didn’t understand me
But now…
My imperfections
Ugly black spots
Moldy and diseased
Blinding you from
What you used to see
If only I were
Skinnier
Less social
Cleaner
Classier
Open minded
Loving
Happier
More observant
More present
More like you
Less like me
Maybe we would have a chance
At the future you picked out for me
