"...So, actually, therefore, the course of wisdom, what is really sensible, is to let go, is to commit oneself, to give oneself up and that's quite mad. So we come to the strange conclusion that in madness lies sanity."


Please, just yell at me...


I’m not good enough

Being tired is not an excuse

I’m not good enough

If you didn't try your hardest then you didn't try at all

I’m not good enough

Stop making excuses for yourself it's a cop out for your actions

I’m not good enough

If you really wanted to you would

I’m not good enough

He chose her because she was better than you

I’m not good enough

You have to be your biggest fan

I’m not good enough

You have to be your toughest critic

I'm not good enough

You're a child calm down

I’m not good enough

You can't blame everyone else for your trauma kid

I’m not good enough

You’re faking your illnesses

I’m not good enough

Don’t make it such a big deal

I’m not good enough

You technically said yes

I’m not good enough

You need to try harder

I'm not good enough

Y'all were just kids it's no big deal

I’m not good enough

If you didn't try your hardest then you half-assed it

I’m not good enough

If you half-assed one thing then you’ve half-assed everything

I’m not good enough

If you f**k it up then you should have just asked for help

I’m not good enough

Don’t you ever ask for help be independent

I'm not good enough

What a selfish brat

I'm not good enough


I beg you, please yell at me

                     Interrupt the voices

      Make it stop

If youre reading this,

No matter how difficult and endless it seems right now, you will get stronger. There is so much more out there for you. Apposed to the poem, you are good enough.
