Good Enough

By OptimisticPessimist

Am I good enough?
To adhere
Your love?


Am I good enough to rise above
The grasp of mania
And insanity?


Am I worth enough to be brought to
The bank

Unbroken,

Unscarred,

Purity?


Or have I fucked myself over
Once again because I am nowhere near
Perfect, population: 0


Am I worth enough to
Continue with this hellish,

Broken,

Scarred,

Impure planet?


Am I good enough.

    Thank you...Word choice is my weakness so I'm enthralled to hear, well, read, it's improving.
