Good Enough - Visitor's Poem

by Kasey Noll
(MN, USA)

Dear Love,

Have I told you
You’re all that I’m living for,
all that I have feelings for?

and yet…

All you hear is my heart
beating in your hands,

Beating,
Pounding,
Screaming,
Pleading,
just break me.

Break me,
just break me.

Just take it all away
quit the hesitancy
and let me be…

please.
please.

I can’t say no to you,
I’ve completely lost myself to you.

Never quite good enough,
it's been a long time coming
so finally release your grip…

So I may find myself,
so I won’t be lost again.

please.
please.

Set me free,
just let me go
let me be my own.

I’ve tried to tell myself that were done
yet you’re still
with me…

Forget me,
please.
please.

I would have changed
the world
to make you see me.

I continue to hear your faintest whispers
but my screams still won’t phase you.

These feelings will never die,
no matter how hard I try
so stop changing
your value of me,
just set me free,
break me
and let me be.

I will learn to stand alone
and we can keep to our own.

Dear Love, forever separate we shall be
Sincerely,
just me.
