This is the argument
I am not good enough
My body takes up too much space
My mouth is too loud and carries too many words
I am not good enough
I will let you down
Fail you and our son
I am not good enough
My mind works against me, drags me into the darkest places
I am stuck on repeat, a cyclone of intrusive thoughts
I am not good enough
Rehearsing all the reasons you shouldn’t love me
Praying you don’t see them too
I will never be good enough
And yet you’re still here, still loving me
Holding my hand, pulling me out
maybe
maybe
maybe, I am enough
