Never Enough (Poem)

[rainydiary]

In the distance
Out of reach
Too high

I strive
I try
I push

Never enough

Too much
Too little
Not right

I cry
I bleed
I bruise

Never enough

Wait
Stop
Wait

I pause
I consider
I see

The objective is arbitrary and unattainable
I am enough because I am me

Your last two lines pack a real punch and made me smile RainyDiary. Altogether an effective poetic statement!

I like your writing, especially "I cry, I bleed, I bruise"

Thanks!

Thank you, rainydiary, for saying so eloquently what it's like inside our battered selves. And for reaffirming that, despite the tears that distort our clear vision, we're all ok. Ok? No -- beautiful and worthy.
