Never enough,

She’s no good,

She will never be enough,

Never good enough



For anyone to love,

To care for,

To comfort,

To appreciate



She’s never going to be

good enough,

Strong enough,

Intelligent enough,

Beautiful enough,

Perfect enough for them



She’s done caring,

Done crying,

Done lying,

Done hiding behind a

fake smile





She’s moving on,

Growing up,

Learning to love,

And who to trust







She’s good enough for

herself!!

Thank you all, this poem was a huge milestone in my life. You have to get to that point where you decide your happiness is more important than anyone elses... doing what is best for you is what matters most... because no one is perfect and you can't be what everyone wants you to be.

This was a beautiful poem. I think everyone has felt like this atleast once in their life it just takes you that one moment of living for yourself. Your an amazing writer.

This poem is really inspirational. You have to stop trying to get people to care about you and just care about yourself.
