Do you ever feel like you’re not enough?

Like the world that you know  puts you down

Like no one can ever love you

Do you ever feel like you will die alone?

Like you’re so lonely

Like people constantly look down on you

Do you ever feel like you loved a person to your heart’s content?

And they weren’t aware of it

Or they just didn’t feel the same way about you

You gave them your all

But it just wasn’t what they wanted

They said that it would last forever but it just didn’t

You tried and you tried

But you never got it right

Your heart will never be fixed again

Cause you are already heart-broken

Life didn’t do this to you

Society didn’t do this to you

Your loved ones didn’t do this to you

You did this to yourself

You constantly are thinking these thoughts

Damaging your heart and your mind

Programing yourself to feel like you aren’t enough

The world doesn’t understand you

Like everything you do isn’t up to everyone’s standards

Your heart that was once filled with the childish joys and glee

Has disappeared and  is now a black hole of despair

They ask you “Are you ok?” and “What’s wrong?”

But you just respond with a “I’m fine”

You’re not really fine

You know that too

You just don’t want to burden people with your emotions

You feel like you can carry your own weight

But you can’t

It’s as difficult as holding the world in your own bare hands

You conceal how you are really feeling

Afraid to cry

Afraid to scream

Afraid that they will judge you even more

Afraid that they will criticize you even more

Even the simplest of things can get you in your feelings

Do you ever feel like you aren’t enough?

No one understands your pain

Your suffering

These thoughts roll over and over again

Like a spiral in your head

Like a spiral that loops all your bad thoughts into one

You poured your whole heart into everything

But it didn’t seem to make the cut

You spend your whole entire time thinking “Was it worth it?”

Is life worth it?

You sit there contemplating

Do you ever feel like you’re not enough?
