Good Enough

SheWasTheSun

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.

  • Pintu Mahakul

    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.
