Never Good Enough

Goddess of the Mist

Memories from the pasts are highlighted now

they have become so clear

traumatizing times

utterly alone

scapegoated

my destiny

 

Bad judgement and stupid mistakes

when I should have known much better

always a struggle

and I hate that word

 

Hating myself

the aching, the clawing

the raw gnaw of emotions weighing down

the heat and sting of tears never far behind

 

No way to go back

to change anything

with Anger a familiar companion

I know I am far from perfect

 

Lingering here, I beat myself to the bone

knowing how I could have been better

Outwardly, things look okay

Inwardly, I will never be good enough

    saddest of all
    is how we accumulate the negatives
    let them, act as drag
    in our pace of life
    however small they may be in comparison
    to our positives
    the potency we afford them, cuts deep..
    (such a relatable read, thanks for sharing
    stay strong!)

      Thanks for reading and for the thoughtful reply, L.B.
      It's true what you say about the negatives. And I used to think of myself as such a positive person!

      Well, you are certainly more than good enough when you express yourself like this. Explore the negatives, but grab hold of the positives. You are a beautiful spirit.

        That's beautiful advice that I will grab hold of!
        Thank you
