Truly Enough
Laying in bed, staring at the ceiling
Mind whizzing around and around
Similar to the fan doing its best
In keeping the heated bedroom comfortable
Summer heat...a subtle reminder of time slipping away
This brain of mine, playing games most cruel
Chanting words that are unkind, and untrue
‘Nobody cares about you, unless they need something’
‘You know I love you, right’
Knock, Knock, Knock
Insecurity and its friend, imposter syndrome
Are joining in on the fun
‘Are yout trying hard enough to find a job’
‘Why are you wasting time with writing when you should be getting a job’
‘No, maybe, nope’
Greetings to you brain
Have I some news for you
Counseling and daily walks
Keep me going, give my life meaning
There are people who care about me
We are apart due to COVID-19
Those who have reached out, inviting me places
Respect my boundary of isolation
I am trying my darnest to find ‘a job’
The proper fit has not come my way yet
Open up a job posting
You will understand how many strings are attached to the phrase ‘Entry Level’
Writing brings me joy
Writing helps me entertain others
Writing is a creative outlet & a job in of itself
Do what you can to tear me down
And keep this in mind
I will bend, and rebound
I will cry, and pat my face dry
I will sing at the top of my lungs while walking
And not care what others think
Why?
Because I am truly enough
Creative, Sensitive, Aware
Driven, Determined to reach my goals
All in due time
