I'm not good enough for you
And that is just fine with me
Because what's good enough for you
Is not at all what I aim to be
In fact, good enough for anyone
Is not my goal; I want more
No, I'll never be quite done
Until I'm good down to my core
Until the wounded cry aloud
Until the broken speak their pain
Until the sun drowns out the clouds
Until the world knows my name
And when that day comes
And I’ve done what I say
Your screams will be hums
Your face lost to the days
In case you didn't notice
I already tried good enough for you
Yet I didn't understand the motives
For being liked by so very few
I’m not good enough for you
It seems I never will be
But good enough for you
Is far from good enough for me

We are all good but in different ways. Good write.
Very true! Thank you!
I am not good enough and wounded mind cries more. Condition is in sad and grief floats on mind with pain. Wonderfully drafted poem of grief and joy.
Thank you so much, I'm so glad you enjoyed!
You are extremely good enough and a wonderful poet.
That means so much to me, thank you!
