To take a step
in this life.
To feel the stones
through a shoe or
fingers dug deep
into soil.
To hear a raven
fan the wind
with great wings.
Smell a pine
wafting on air
and taste of spring water
gentle on tongue.
This world will
never reject you.
Opinions are unknown.
Nor thinks you’re
deficient.
The silence of the forest.
A rustling of leaves.
The warmth of sun
on skin,
coolness of water
flowing through body,
honesty of perspiration
from an uphill climb.
This world will hold
you sacred.
Always accepts you.
Forever embraces,
listens and responds
in perfect song.
There is only one view
that keeps you at bay
cringing in the night
calling out in fear
searching nightmares under bed
and questions your
existence.
Then screams piercing
in your ear,
“you are not enough”
Is never satisfied
no matter the countless
prostrations or offerings.
This keeps you hostage,
enslaved.
Expectations. Is all about the people’s expectations, im useless and worthless, Im the biggest disappointment ever and im struggling to try to get used to and live with it even tho im trying my best but i never get to be enough to anyone

I guess the answer would depend on who exactly is doing the stamping.
Enough or Not

It really depends on the individual. I have lots of answers to that question but I don’t see the point in writing so much.
Because someone(s) or something(s) have stamped it there.
I think that’s how society branded alot of us
But screw society, here is a new society on SP where people ARE GOOD ENOUGH AND MORE 🙂
rage against the machine
