Constantly seeking out validation, You don’t have to know me, But I wanna be your favourite. I want you to like me so much, I hate it. Share posts or tap to follow, Get blocked and deleted, such a hard pill to swallow, The lives are so full but inside they are hollow, Love it and like it and give it a...

Shadow vs Self
What makes me not enough? It seems I make others happy. Why is the exception myself? I champion my successes, I recognize my strengths, but inadequate I feel. When the walls whisper their song of the self, it’s not a ballad of awe. I hear a crooning wail recount my misgivings, left begging to forget. As rational as I can be, this childish ignorance grips me tightly. Despite...

Premium Member On the Later Day Yesterday Evening I Felt --Inadequate My Spokenword-
I didn't do nothing I didn't do enough I was after fact; I was feeling inadequate; I felt like I didn't have a chance to help you out; I was deficient, faulty felt incompetent ; I didn't do anything I didn't do enough I was lacking incomplete ; Sketch and unequal spoke; I had listen to the wrong voice; Them "thoughts" rob me of...

Inadequate Father
Father whose lone son He Leaves in Harsh Sun, Son moving clockwise Soon turns the street wise Dad whose daughter's skin He pricks with old pin. And her secure wall Blasts for a strange fall! A dad shan't his head Clean of what it'd read! That which he's obtained Needs he well retained, Common sense maintained, No nonsense contained... Inadequate father Still can go much farther; It...

To An Inadequate Father
Don’t your daughter’s skin Attack with a pin Nor her blushing wall Hit for an amusing fall… And don’t your vibrant son Leave in improvident sun: Now playfully moving clockwise If he ventures out, that’s streetwise! Perhaps, you’ve your Good Head Forced to forget what you’d read: For what a bloke has succeeded to obtain He should at all costs guardedly retain....

Our Soldier Son 2007 We sat together in the front row At airport gate number five (his father and I), Watching as he paced Toward the exiting corridor. Then at the opening of that Passage, he stepped to turn about-face, Returning his way back to us. He had brought Iraq along with him — blown, Thrown...

Premium Member An Inadequate Poem For You
To say you are my everything Does not capture anything To say you fill my every need Does not tell all that you exceed To say you satisfy me with pleasure Does not explain a joy beyond measure To say your beauty is magnetic Does not describe feelings so poetic...

Premium Member 'inadequate'
When the real you Is not good enough When you weighed by a stranger’s scale And you are labeled inadequate Do you try and become Who they think you are Or do you walk around under the blanket Of not being good enough forever Even when you know you are passable Do you pretend it doesn't hurt? That being...

Inadequate
Human nature is such All you need is much Whatever you have is less You always stay in a mess. Content are few Not in search of something new Values are not valuable enough To assess the available stuff Love is inadequate So are the feelings. Words are inadequate, So is the meaning. Inadequate is normal now Sufficient will lead to a 'wow' Its wise...

Inadequate
Some days I'm torn apart. Like the teeth of lion, piercing a gazelle's heart. And I weep so much, those tears now no longer fall. I feel like a newborn, I'm learning how to crawl. This love, I showered him, like rain in a downpour. It wasn't sufficient enough, like a nasty hurricane he tore my love...

Premium Member Inadequate To the Task
What do you do when words are pale Inadequate to the task Emotions not fully expressed Plucking from my mind Wishing for my best Yet lacking Not flowing Where will I look Within or without I feel overwhelmed Not able to contain Still not sure where to look Words dribbled on a page Wishing to fly Yet left in a pile Who will shuffle through my thoughts Bring them...
