Because She Just Is Not Good Enough

by Jess   Oct 26, 2011


From pain,
she speaks.

Blood,
running down her wrists.

She might as well be blind,
for she cannot see.

She's important,
loved, always been.

She cries,
to god for help.

Because she just is not good enough.

For in her eyes,
shes just a disgrace.

She struggles,
with weight and beauty.

that knife,
is her best friend.

Regarding faith,
god has gone astray.

She will never be good enough, in his eyes.

    This poem continues the theme of exchanging emotional pain for a more concrete feeling. The third person referrence is as real as the first to me

    I think that even though the lines/verses are short you are telling quite a lot about the protagonist. You don't only mention facts, but also leave it up to the reader to imagine what kind of person you're refering to, what kind of personality she has and what kind of circumstances she is living in.

    I think that the feelings in this poem are really relateable and they don't feel fake or overdone. I hope that this is only fictional because nobody deserves to feel like this.

    The title is a bit confusing, the way it's worded. I would think about changing it up to "She's Just Not Good Enough" or something along those lines. I read the title four times before I read it 'right' in my head, if that made sense. lol.

    I don't know if in reference to God you purposely made His name (and Him) in lower case, it would make sense for the feel of the poem.

    This poem hit me kind of hard. I'm not big on self harm poems so I kind of ignored that part - I feel like there are so many other outlets than destructing yourself. I know, I've been there, perhaps thats why I usually skip over these types of poems. Regarding God and faith - you are never not good enough for Him. He loves you for who you are, He made you for who you are.. every fiber, cell, hair. He knows every smile, every tear, every need. You just have to turn to Him and have faith. Last Sunday my pastor said faith is the quicket way to please God. :)

    I hope you are able to find the comfort I have. It's not about religion, but about a relationship with God - once you get to that point you may realize that the self harm isn't necessary.

    If this was purely fictional, then I'm sorry for the comment, haha! :)
