Enough
March 31, 2015
next to your towering expectations
i am tiny
because whatever accomplishments i have
are never quite
sufficiently large enough
to even touch the tip
of what you expect out of me
but
i still grow closer to the sky
and i can touch the clouds
that kiss my cheeks
and whisper
it's okay
if i can't reach the top
because
my building is for me
to live in
to scale
to peer out over the world
and see the grand picture
of what it means to live
and to you
my achievements aren't colossal
or even satisfactory
just as i
am not as adequate
as i should be
but
on the contrary
looking at my skyline
of feats stacked upon feats
i know that
I am enough.
And I always will be.
