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?

I enjoyed the flow of this work. Nice choice of words and phrasing to a relatable sentiment so many feel at various times of our lives. Well done.

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!
