Never enough

by Mark Hopwood   Sep 3, 2023


I feel broken, worthless, pointless.
Whatever I do is wrong.
I'm not good enough, I've never been good enough.
My head is so full of negative and broken hopes. Memories of messed up moments.
Moments that don't go away.
They linger and fester and flail wildly around my mind.
They stop me from sleeping, from moving forwards; from living my life and being who I need to be.
All I do is fail, all I do is let people down,
I am a failure.
And failure fills my mind, heart and soul.
Failure and love. Such a combination.
I fail my love, constantly. Never enough, never good enough. Just failing her.
I feel broken, worthless and pointless.

I can't love or please,
I am a poison, a cancer, a disease
But I'm so eager to be better
Trying so Hard to please,
And it's never enough.
It's never enough.

    This resonated with me a lot. In depression there insecurity, a fear on never being enough but also a desperation to be better. The lines in this poem are to the point and speak candidly about questioning ones worth. Thank you for writing something relatable and honest about what it is like to feel not good enough.
