Good Enough

June 13, 2022

Dread rakes its claws through my brain
Sowing the seeds of doubt
Spreading terror through my mind
reminding me that I don’t deserve this

I want to have nice things
I want the sunshine and warmth
I want peace and comfort
But I don’t deserve them

Maybe if I try harder
If I’m always perfect
kind and considerate to everyone
then I’ll earn them

What if I’ve already earned them?
What if it’s not about what I deserve?
I want to be a good person
so I am going to keep trying

And maybe, just maybe
That’s good enough
