Enough

I am content to ebb and flow with the crowd.
I do not need to stick out in order to be someone.
I don’t need to be the best in order to be good enough.
I am not stupid because I lack knowledge.
I don’t have to run the show in order to lead.
I am who I am.
Frail.
Fragile.
Beautiful.
I am not enough
But I was never meant to be.

    this seems almost forced, like you tried to add more fluff to what could have been a very good simple poem. I like what you are attempting to convey, but i think the message gets lost in all the added stuff.

    thank you for entering.

    I already commented on your other one so I';; paste it onto here. Delete the which ever one you want I guess.

    I think that this is a VERY powerful piece; I just wish it would have been a little more poetic. That part it just a small thing though, I have already fell in love with it!

    I think instead of saying things such as “I am” “I do” is a bit repetitive and it’s like a list” Spice it up a bit such as “Content to ebb and flow with the crowd”
    “Being good enough doesn’t mean being the best.”
    I LOVE the ending. But instead of But try Because, it doesn’t suddenly sadden the poem like but does. The word but makes it sound a little regretful which the poem is not.


    I would also like a clever title that somewhat surprises me...maybe a simple title to mask the powerful poem behind it.


    Needless to say it was wonderful and I thank you for entering this into my contest...good luck!
