and when the night unfolds i ask the universe as i was told never good never enough for what makes a woman good for what makes her enough? how much of too much is too little what makes more a little less? for time and time again she’s always told you’re never enough no matter what for whatever it takes may we all remember we are all passersby wanting to leave a mark in the doorway of humanity’s historical evolution whether man or woman it doesn’t matter as we are all good enough more than enough capable of being enough.

Though you point out at the end that being enough is universal for all people – man, woman, and child, it is the beginning where the power is in this poem! Women have been told too often and for too long that they are less. The plight of women to achieve has resulted in a striving without reward. I feel this on a very basic level – in the marrow of my bones.
Thank you so much Val for sharing your insights (which i always look forward to). Yes, we were told many times that women are the lesser gender and it angered me, especially because this is not at all true.
Beautifully rendered! I’ve often heard the remark “I find fault because I want you to be perfect”. But that is somebody else’s concept of perfection. Mine can be different.
“whether man or woman
it doesn’t matter as we are all good enough, more than enough ,capable of being enough.”
So well said.. ❤ Sending love and well wishes Mich, have a lovely weekend to come
Yes, we are! We were born being enough!
“…never good enough…not enough…” Such a false-filled lie that unfortunately continues to this day. 😦
Your poem is powerful and needed, SweetMich! I can tell it’s from your heart! Thank you for writing it! ❤️ Women need to champion each other, not compete against each other. Thank you for being a champion of and for women! 🙂
(((HUGS))) ❤️
Whoever says ‘women are lesser than…’ is suffering from inferiority complex and one suffering from it always tends to pull down the other one. my opinion. Excellent poem. ‘…we are all good enough
more than enough
capable of being
enough.’
