The excuses I make for myself,

Get easier everytime. 

Flowing off my lips, 

I start to actually believe them. 

My dreams seem so untouchable, 

Out of reach,

And it only gets further,

Due to my new found fear of rejection. 

I convince myself i’m not good enough, 

Even though deep down,

I know I am. 

I’m better than enough. 

I became customed to getting my way,

Until the real world hit me. 

I noticed that

My good enough,

Isn’t the same as everyone elses. 

So I keep myself locked in a shell,

That wants to crack. 

Explode.
