Is This Good Enough 8-24-21
It’s 2:30am
And I am feverishly writing
in a feeble attempt to throw a bone the other way
Flattening the tip of the pen with each thought
I crave so badly to feel understood
Even as I write
I feel a compulsion to over-explain how awful I feel
Just to force the pain down the throat of these pages
I stop to scan my thoughts
I try to decipher if they are good enough
I wonder, when was the last time I felt good enough
