Am I good enough? You ask.

Tears streaming down

Needing acceptance

Wanting love

Feeling raw and empty

As you feel scars open

The past breaks through

Regret cuts you like a knife

Fear fills your veins

Am I good enough? You ask.

Standing in the sidelines

Walking in a crowd

Having no voice

Paranoia shoots through

Everyone is looking at you

Am I good enough? You ask.

Rearrange your life

Fit in the right timeline

Search for happiness

That you can't even see

Am I good enough? You ask.

That laughter chills your blood

Your breath becomes shallow

Forgetting what you need

Dreaming of peace

You hold your breath

Am I good enough? You ask.

Hatred fills your being

Yet you won't harm a fly

You scream needing a place to hide

Am I good enough? You ask.

Holding it all inside

Be a good little girl run and hide

Am I good enough yet? You ask.

The question becoming dyer

You don't want to say goodbye

But what's left of you

You gave it your all

...

Why am I not good enough? You ask.

The question changing

Rage fills your soul

Anger that you aren't right

You're not better

Hating the fact that they'll never want you

I want to be good enough. You say.

Forget their words

Forget the blame

Forget their laughter

Forget them all

You'll never be perfect

But you'll be you

And that's good enough.
