the bar is set
you have to at least reach it
you have to be good enough
you can't afford not to.
okay,
write
scratch out
write again.
but looking at it now...
no.
just, no.
it's supposed to be relatable, relevent, but also eloquent.
it's not good enough!
then,
inspiration strikes
and you write on a new idea
but halfway through it?
you're stuck.
this cycle goes on and on
until all you're left with is a book of unfinished pieces
and an overwhelming sense of mediocrity.
all because you allowed yourself to get sucked into an orbit of self doubt

but you're hopeful still,
because after countless attempts
this piece might actually be the one you complet-

"ugh! it's still not good enough."
