Have I ever... am I ever... will I ever be good enough? How can I be good enough? Why do I even want to be good enough? My wins do not compare to my failures, much less to my mistakes... My confidence hides my doubts. My strength hides my weaknesses. My smile hides my pain. And my love... my love fades away. One step at the time... Falling and getting up... Wishing and praying... Dreaming and living... Can I ever be good enough? Will I ever be good enough? Maybe some day. But that day, is not today.

To Be, To Ask
I love you. Three words. A storm of emotions.

Words
Afraid to love. Anxious to miss. Scared to hurt. Terrified to feel. I have built walls around my heart. Wore an armor of steel. Held a sword on my hands. Protected myself with a shield. I turn away. Pull back. Push through. Set my guard up. Afraid to be love. Anxious not to be miss. Scared to be hurt. Terrified to be feel.

Afraid
"You have never been or ever will be good enough." They said. But, guess what? I am as good enough as I decide to be. And I decide I am beyond "good enough". Take it, or leave it.

Good enough
I am the girl no one knows. The one who enters and exits the room in silence. The one whose story is unknown and dull. I am the girl no one knows. The one whose voice sings in empty rooms and dances in the darkness of the night. I am the girl whose lips have never been touch. The girl whose hands have never been held. I am the girl no one knows. The one with a story paint by emotions and memories. The girl with a future waiting to be painted, and a life waiting to be drawn. I am the girl no one knows. I have loved. I have cried. I have hurted. I have been broken and belittle. Made a warrior from the start. Walked among strangers standing tall like a mountain. I am the girl walking forward in this life. The one who one day everyone will remember, but still wonder who she was.
