Enough?

When will *I* be Enough?
Will that day ever come
When my value
As just being me
Is recognized
And appreciated?
When someone
Isn’t out
To snatch
To take
A piece of me
To use for their benefit
For their glory
Just because
I’m open
I’m willing
I’m being
My authentic self?

When will *I* be Enough?
When being around me
Is enough
When knowing me
Is enough
When talking to me
Is enough
No wants
No needs
No desires
To strip me
Of the parts
Of me
That you found
Attractive
But have now decided
Would benefit you
Better
Than it would benefit
Me.

When will *I* be Enough?
Can I keep
Me
To myself
Unless I choose
To share
With you
Or anyone else
Can you not
Come
With the desire
To pillage
And plunder
The very depths
Of my being
For your own
Purposes
For your own
Use
For your own
Advancement

When will *I* be Enough?
Not more
Not less
Just
ENOUGH
That folks will
Love me
Like me
Accept me
Just as I am
It’s sad to say
That when I look
At my Herstory
And think about
My future
I can’t see that
Day
Or time
Coming
Ever

When will *I* be Enough?
Unfortunately
I have no idea…

  1. You are enough. You know that and in refernce to others, if they cant see anything but the surface they aren't worthy of seeing or finding the treasures buried deeper. The right one will know. So in the meantime continue to be made into the God ordained "Kim" that He wants you to be and He will send the he that He has prepared for or you.

    So glad you got those Terry genes...your words are awesome...thought provoking and life giving.
