i am not good enough.
1m | Aug 26, 2023Whenever the words are etched
onto the empty pages,
there’s the tiniest
voice at the back of my head, whispering,
This is not good enough.
This isn’t good enough.
When the words sneak
into my mind like a snail
in the rain during Fall,
it beats me
similar to a boxer in the ring
as there are occasional
flashing lights from the crowd
that’s on the edge of their seats.
You are not good enough.
It only comes every once in a while,
echoing
like crows or rosters
at 6 in the morning.
You are not good enough.
You should quit.
Why are you still writing?
You will never be successful.
You should quit.
Who would read your grey-tinted words?
You’re not good enough.
When will your writing ever
dance on the rooftop, glittering
with diamonds and rainbows
as the mouth threw up
the galaxy with illuminating stars?
Your writing will never be good enough.
You will never be good enough.
