"To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people merely exist, that is all." -Oscar Wilde


My heart races with the thought that I
might not be good enough.
What if
I was up against a
challenge
that was far to big for my
small being to
overcome?

Maybe, I should just
give up and be
defeated.
Could it be possible that I’ve met my
fate?
I’d hate to think so;
I couldn’t bear it,
not being good enough.

As these thoughts cross my mind,
a tear seems to fall,
a tear seems to shatter, and
I realize
I’m strong enough,
I’m good enough
to overcome,
to defeat,
to conquer,
not one, but
all of my enemies.
