Am I Not Enough

I've been running for so long
Trying to be the best
But what happens when I fall
Will I not be good enough for you anymore
Will you cast me aside
What can I do to prove I'm trying to be all you want
I'm tired and I'm caving
I tell myself to keep going
I don't want to let you down
But I'm not perfect
Please just love me for me

You are, without doubt, "good enough," Alyssa! This is a heart-felt reflection from a gifted artist.

Hate to think there is some bar raised to jump over that is attained love...but some people like to play that game don't they?? If they can't love you for you then they're too shallow to deserve you!! Great writing Miss!! Much love, Steve
