Not Good Enough

Try Again

I hear, Again

I am not good enough

Why

Can’t I be accepted

Then

A small Voice

Filled with Power

I Hear

“Good Enough

You are More than

Just Good Enough”

Shocked I sit still

I hear it again

“Good Enough

My Child, More than that

You are Perfect

You are Very Good”

The Voice continues

Growing in Strength until

It Becomes

A roaring River

A chorus a thousand voices strong

saying with Passion

“Good Enough,

You are More than

Just Good Enough”

Other voices tell me

“Worthless

Not Good Enough

Try Again

Failure”

Until that Voice

That Voice

Drowns them all out

That Voice tells the Truth

“Good Enough Child,

You are Very Good

Well Done

You are Learning

Good Job

You did well

Yes you fell down

But look,

You got back up again

That is more than

Good Enough”
