5 Feet Under

I am trying my best with what I have.

But it’s not enough.

Trying my best with work.

But it’s not enough.

Trying my best with my relationships.

But it’s not enough.

Trying to be a good mom.

It’s never enough.

Trying my hardest to keep a clean house.

Not enough.

I am five feet under, but I am only 5’2. The dirt is getting into my mouth, poisoning my system until it seeps into my brain with the negative thoughts “You are never enough.

My heart knows different. I am valued, I am loved, and I am needed. My heart is a gentle reminder that I can keep going. My lungs provide the breath I need to pursue my goals, and my feet keep moving me forward.

But is it enough?

No.

My brain has to align with my heart.

How do I bridge this gap?
