Am I Good Enough?

Misty sky,
All a lie,
Terrible past,
Trauma will last,
Forever stressed,
Feeling never blessed,
Praying to God,
I always feel odd,
Left out,
Self-doubt,
Self-conscious and worried,
But the stress is buried,
So, no-one can see,
The inside me,
A mess of anxiety,
Am I good enough for society?

You are a beautiful person, never doubt that lovely. The standards of the world are not for you, you are so much better than that.

I never want for society to forget about me. I always want to be remembered. I guess that is why I am a writer and poet. Your poem is actually quite refreshing. Thank you!
