Never felt good enough.

I have never truly felt good enough for anyone,
From my past to the present the feeling forever sticks,
My father started the thoughts of not being enough for him as a child,
Was it that I didn't look more like him,
Or the way I was wasn't to his liking,
The image of him leaving me hurts my soul and then to grow up having him leave me on seen hurts deep,
I know I may not be the person he may have hoped for but why can't me being myself be enough,
That made me forever feel like the world was out to get me,
I always have my guard up because of that man but other ghosts from the past make me feel the same way,
So I feel like in order to be enough for most I have to make a choice between being myself or someone that they want me to be,
But my faith in myself remains strong and I know now that I am enough,
We all feel as if we aren't enough at one point or another,
But instead of coming together and having hope and faith in one another, we choose to sit in silence and depression,
Come here and take my hand let's work on the self-asteem together there is nothing wrong with you,
There is nothing wrong with me.
