You Are Enough

She sore beautifully through the sky,

Her eyes were always looking high.

She slowly lost sight of who she once was,

And now her eyes aren't focused on the light.

The slight darkness gets in the way.

Direction changes and she becomes a shadow.

She shrinks, hides and becomes not enough.

She used to speak out of joy and love,

Later to realize you were walking away. 

She started to speak out of pain,

To find you were just getting further away.

Her mind went blank and the pain became numb,

She could’ve caught herself, but she wanted you to catch her.

She wanted you to latch onto her.

She wanted you to watch her become who you wanted her to be.

Her love for you never went away,

It stayed, caved, and she fell into an abyss. 

The bliss she once felt with you faded away slowly.

She wasn't thinking clearly, when you would take her hand.

She painted a picture of you in her head,

Someone with perfect eyes, lips, smile, but between the lines was the lies.

She ignored her mind telling her, you didn’t feel the same way,

But she wanted to hold onto the feeling when you looked at her that way.

She tried moving on but you kept coming back,

Not for her though, but for her body.

Her light pink lips, waist that led to her buttox then to the hips. 

She imagined you as someone to go on trips with,

Someone to call “mine.”

You cut her with the blade of your words,

Through her stomach, her mind, and her heart.

You left her scarred and bruised,

Cruising around with the pain you brought on.

Months passed by, the world still looking gloomy,

She found someone new, someone better, someone who will never 

treat her the way you did.

Her eyes sparkled with bling, shining bright turquoise,

The confidence of a queen paired with the glimmer of her smile,

Her bright blonde hair fell down her alluring face.

A girl who was so enough that no man could get in the way.

She held onto her hope that one day she would love someone,

Love someone so much, but not anymore than herself.

She knew that she deserved more than pain,

So she gained independence.

The girl found peace with her solitude,

She wasn't afraid of it, she trusted it.

As she goes through her day she doesn’t wonder,

“Would my life be different if I wasn’t alone?”

“Am I enough for someone to hold again?”

No. She is stronger than that.

“I don’t need anyone to make me feel alone.”

“I am enough for myself, the world, anyone who crosses my path.”

“I am enough.”
