Good Enough

Dread rakes its claws through my brain Sowing the seeds of doubt Spreading terror through my mind reminding me that I don’t deserve this

I want to have nice things I want the sunshine and warmth I want peace and comfort But I don’t deserve them

Maybe if I try harder If I’m always perfect kind and considerate to everyone then I’ll earn them

What if I’ve already earned them? What if it’s not about what I deserve? I want to be a good person so I am going to keep trying

And maybe, just maybe That’s good enough
