Am I Good Enough?
Am I good enough?
I climb and climb in hopes to reach the top,
I climb and climb to reach everything I'm not.
But every time I get close to the mountain's peak,
it grows and once again I learn that I'm weak.
I'm always close to the top, yet never close enough,
I want to get there although it is unheard of.
Reaching the peak would make everything okay,
because right now I seem to be going astray,
away from all I grew up on and all I love,
I'm fading from it all, everything I'm proud of.
Is my climbing and struggle even worth it?
Because sometimes I feel I should just quit.
Giving up would be easier, accepting me as I am,
with my overall worth equivalent to a milligram.
But I'll keep climbing to try and reach the peak,
to get to that place which I continually seek.
Am I good enough yet?
