Not Enough

So much that does not measure up-
Remnants, not enough to be useful
So many bits, none quite right
Fragments
They haunt me
Not enough humor-too maudlin, not bright
Not enough length- this piece too short, and too wide
Not enough beauty- the pattern is unattractive
Not enough sexiness- too plain and homely
Not enough simplicity- the crazy complexity is too much
yet, oddly not enough
Not enough brilliance- too dull, no shine
Not enough confidence- not bold
Not enough spirituality- just a dye that imperfectly hides the defects
Not enough softness- it feels prickly and harsh

It would seem that all these rags and pieces could add up to make a whole, but they don't
they are not enough

Nothing is stitched together, it is all undone

worth nothing

Not measuring up

Not enough

This is a great bit of writing, makes you think. You have so much worth, there are not enough people like you in the world with hearts like yours. I can relate to not feeling good enough myself. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you, you don't know what that means to me. I want to tell you that I think you are very fine and definitely more than good enough and apologize for saying or doing anything to ever make you feel unworthy. You have a great heart, you are a diamond.

A lot of us have these same thoughts because of a society lacking real value. It is such a blessing to know that we are enough for the Lord and who cares what this world doomed for fire thinks?

Nice work. I've been rejected a lot of time and I always think that I'm not good enough or not enough. Your piece thugs my strings of emotions.

I did not mean by the world's standards. It is about unrequited love.
