I am enough

Post by Shivty »

I was enough
When my father hurt me.
When he betrayed me.
When he held me down and forced me.
When I screamed when he was on me.
When I could not fight him off and he destroyed me.

I am enough
When I can't fix the hair on my head.
When I can't find a solution in anything I read.
When I can't find the way out of my head.
When my path to understanding is blocked by what I said.
When I can't stop the pain and anger and all I see is red.
When I can't do anymore and I get back into bed.

I will be enough
When I fall the next time.
When I can't find a solution that's mine.
When I try, but don't find the time.
When I cross the line.

I am enough because of
When I choose to do when I can't do anymore
When I collide with the floor.
When I feel like a whore.
And when I can't take no more.

I am enough God damnit.
I am enough.

Shivty,
I HATE that this happened to you! You did not deserve that! YOU were enough then. You ARE ENOUGH now. You WILL BE ENOUGH tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow………. You will always be enough. I hear you. I feel your pain. I care. I am glad that you’re here.
Be kind to you.
