Poem
Do you ever feel like you’re not enough?
Like the world that you know puts you down
Like no one can ever love you
Do you ever feel like you will die alone?
Like you’re so lonely
Like people constantly look down on you
Do you ever feel like you loved a person to your heart’s content?
And they weren’t aware of it
Or they just didn’t feel the same way about you
You gave them your all
But it just wasn’t what they wanted
They said that it would last forever but it just didn’t
You tried and you tried
But you never got it right
Your heart will never be fixed again
Cause you are already heart-broken
Life didn’t do this to you
Society didn’t do this to you
Your loved ones didn’t do this to you
You did this to yourself
You constantly are thinking these thoughts
Damaging your heart and your mind
Programing yourself to feel like you aren’t enough
The world doesn’t understand you
Like everything you do isn’t up to everyone’s standards
Your heart that was once filled with the childish joys and glee
Has disappeared and is now a black hole of despair
They ask you “Are you ok?” and “What’s wrong?”
But you just respond with a “I’m fine”
You’re not really fine
You know that too
You just don’t want to burden people with your emotions
You feel like you can carry your own weight
But you can’t
It’s as difficult as holding the world in your own bare hands
You conceal how you are really feeling
Afraid to cry
Afraid to scream
Afraid that they will judge you even more
Afraid that they will criticize you even more
Even the simplest of things can get you in your feelings
Do you ever feel like you aren’t enough?
No one understands your pain
Your suffering
These thoughts roll over and over again
Like a spiral in your head
Like a spiral that loops all your bad thoughts into one
You poured your whole heart into everything
But it didn’t seem to make the cut
You spend your whole entire time thinking “Was it worth it?”
Is life worth it?
You sit there contemplating
Do you ever feel like you’re not enough?
