Was I good enough?

was I good enough for you
why did you leave me?
you didn't get to see me
grow up
and become a woman
I thought you loved me
but I guess love wasn't enough
you left us
and I don't even remember
all the great memories
that Clara has had
you left me so young
and you thought I would be OK
well I'm not

Clara was like a mother to me
and still is
I love her so much
but I would have loved you more
as a mother

don't get me wrong
I love you and always will
but I just keep thinkin wasn't I good enough
was I a mistake?
is that why you left?
did I do something wrong?

you always say no it wasn't my fault
but I don't even remember you living with us
and all I remember is the one fight
y'all ever did

you just walked away
without knowing if I would be OK
or even Clara

I love you mom
this just has been bottled up inside
and tarring me apart

Was I even good enough??

I love you mom I'm just trying to finally open up to you!

    Your poem is amazing... The question that crys out from your heart, Were you good enough???? YOU are a very special and beautiful person inside and out.... Were you good enough??? You are more than good enough.. because you do not pretend to be anything your not.. your just you.. and that is what makes you that much more special... Keep being you.... Because you are so special..

    Yes you were good enough.Sometimes things happen in our lives and we have to walk away.We don't always consider the consequenses of our actions and very often don't see the wood for the trees.At the time we go with our emotions and are blinded by circumstances.Let me tell you this your mum will have regretted what she did a million fold and I bet if she could turn the clock back she would.Even if she tells you she is sorry I bet you would find it hard to accept as being true.IT IS! None of us can turn the clock back and we have to make the most of what we have now.This is not a dress rehearsal.Go for it and live for what you can do now and in the future.Enjot each day to the full and if you can have a great relationship with your mum NOW!!! Good luck and God Bless
