    NOT GOOD ENOUGH
    NOT GOOD ENOUGH

    Why is it so close, so near to me?
    This question I so harshly fear…
    Why do I always think about the things I can do nothing about Now!

    Is there something wrong with me?
    Something there: that I cannot see?
    Is the answer staring me in the face?
    Will I, won’t I ever replace this feeling of inadequacy
    Creeping, crawling all over and inside of me?

    How can I not feel good enough?
    Why wasn’t I up to snuff?
    Could I have made better decisions?
    Don’t we all need those little permissions?

    What can I do better?
    That will one day allow me to let her…
    Be a wife and a mother, and stop asking those questions, and stop feeling so god damned smothered!

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
