I love this poem, and the phrase “you are enough”. Many times when friends come to me, seeking advice, in an apparent state of internal struggle I’ve offered those very words–“You are enough”. It seems to do for them what it does for me when I have no choice but to look myself in the proverbial mirror because as you know, the friend many have to go to has so few to turn to in such moments. I love your poetry–it speaks to me. Thank you for also giving me the “hook” I needed to write an essay I’d been putting off because I needed a start point. To start at the beginning was too sad, to start at the end was cheating, (both the story of its strength and the reader of the hope it may offer). Your poem reminded me of how that phrase, “You are enough” is so often what stands between where we’ve left our indelible mark and the canvass yet to ink, that we are enough to not leave anything blank, by choice. So, thank you! Take care.
Thank you so much for your kind words and praise for my poetry. I’m so happy that this poem had reached you and I’m glad that you were able to start the essay you mentioned. I appreciate your feedback a lot, it makes me feel lovely. 🙂
