Good Enough?

Posted on September 12, 2018 by kristianw84

broken

 

I’ve danced this dance a time or two

Irksomeness is nothing new.

 

I suppose this is my cross to bear,

For my heart on my sleeve, I do wear

 

These thoughts inside me, I do keep.

But I’ve promised forgiveness, so I dare not speak

 

It’s not the thoughts I mind so much,

I’ve grown accustom to winter’s touch.

 

Rather the feeling of fear is what I dread,

You see, I can’t get the devil out of my head.

 

I’ve tried so hard to rid him, he even haunts my dreams.

I see him in the patterns in my cup, made by my coffee cream.

 

I search the world for some sort of comfort, but even the sky is rough.

How do you mend a broken heart that has never felt good enough?

    It’s a false world pulled over your eyes. The Kristian on the inside can only see from the inside out. But I’m telling you from the outside, in that you’re good enough for most anything you put yourself to do. And this is the truth.

        I’ve struggled my entire life with insecurities. I’m no stranger to “good enough” it’s everyday… but I think about it, I can either keep going and not worry about these things, or dwell on them and let them consume me. I can only be me. Life can either accept me or get over me.

        I try not to worry about it, & I can honestly say that while I always feel that doubt, I’ve grown so much as a person, & I’m normally not bothered by it, because I realize the ridiculously high pedestal I continue to place myself on, however; I’m human and I can’t help these thoughts that come flooding in from time to time. I’m not sure if it’s the weather, I’ve not seen the sun for 5 days, the fact that my friend is utterly & completely heartbroken, & I want so badly to take her pain away & I can’t, or that since my husband has told me he thinks his life is ending sooner rather than later, I worry about my future. I’m caught up in the tragedies of the world right now & I don’t know how to get past it. I feel like a hamster spinning her wheel. I’m moving, but not really getting anywhere.

    This is really quite scary!
    Well-written! 🙂
