Dear those who wish for my success,
Let me be
Dear those who only want the best,
Let me breath
High hopes
And dated expectations
Chain me
Tether me to the very spot
You so desperately want me to flee
How can I succeed?
When I am only told what I am missing
What I am lacking
When you add to the obstacles
Needed to overcome
How can I move forward?
With words of degredation pushing me back?
Let me live
Breathe a breath outside these constraints
Give me time
Give me patience
Give me the love-
The compassion I so desire
Not the wanting
The waiting
The expectations
That plague me
Invading my sense of self
Until finally forming the belief
That -
Like you seem to believe -
It will never be enough
And I will never be enough
Sincerely, Chasing Worth
