Too Good or Not Good Enough


Being someone’s option is never a good feeling Hoping and praying to be someone’s one and only Just to be told that you were just a choice that wasn’t chosen It doesn’t feel too good Putting not all but just enough of yourself on the line Just so they can see the potential inside, you that is. Being so cool or too cool for them to see you other than who you “are” Being the listening ears or the words of wisdom For the messed up situations they gotten themselves into You are either too good or not good enough Too good to let go but not good enough to love and devote themselves to They love the virtuous spirit that you have and the self respect that you hold They love the fact that you don’t just say yes but instead you say no They love the correcting tone that spews out from luscious lips but they look sideways Up ways or down ways. Any other way but your way. Why? Because your either too good or not good enough. So what do you do? You remain the good friend that you are Imparting your wisdom to open minds to create a knowledge not know to “man” Your morals being the deeply rooted foundation into someone else’s happiness you are A gift. A gift that’s either too good or not good enough.
