I’m not enough

At first I was hopeful.

There were skies with not limit.

I had a heart full of spirit.

The world was mine for the taking,

Places to see, and masterpieces to be making.

I had an entire life to start

And memories to fill my heart.

But doing it was going to be tough,

And I fear I’m not strong enough.

 

Time passes.

I see an engagement ring.

The birds begin to sing.

A bright future is shown;

I am never to be alone,

Love that is boundless,

And happiness that’s endless.

But marriage can be rough,

And I fear I’m just not good enough.

 

Then time ends.

Everything comes to a halt.

I realize it was all my fault.

Opportunities I ignored,

Decisions I now abhor.

Problems and mistakes I chose to forget

And in the end, it wasn’t even worth it.

Life I did rebuff, because I feared I was just never enough.
