What is good enough?
Who sets the bar?
How do we know how much,
how big, or how far?
If I create the line,
then where does it stop?
Because I have so much trouble
with needing to be on top.
I struggle with lowering
the expectations I have set,
and if I miss out on something,
I’ll be stuck with the regret.
Everyday I find myself
more and more stressed out.
Everyday I’m closer and closer
to a full breakdown.
I never feel I’m good enough
for all the praise I get,
but I’m recognizing more
that it’s a flaw in my mindset.
I have to find a goal
that I can strive to achieve,
then NOT move the bar up again.
Only then, will I believe:
I am good enough.
Lower expectations keep us safe
