I've been tired lately,
When I'm tired it shows up on my face,
And in my body language,
Like a bold flashing sign,
Topped with puffy eyes and weak shoulders,
I've been fighting lately,
With the world and with other people,
To be recognized for who I am now,
Not what I did before,
And I've been fighting with her too,
The old, younger me,
Caught up in her surroundings,
Too focused on what went wrong,
Never looking forward and so never moving on,
Who just wouldn't let up on me,
"You're not good enough,"
I know that,
"You're not good enough,"
Okay I know that, but,
"You're not good enough."
Well you know what?
That's not good enough.
I can't use that,
There is no benefit to that kind of thinking,
Fear of rejection,
Fear of success,
Those are not good enough reasons to keep me in critical condition,
Self-loathing is not good enough for me.
It's not good enough for anybody.
"You're not good enough."
Says who?
