Real world.

Reality is cold
Life is unfair
Love is conditional
Trust gets broken
Friends disappear
Hopes are crushed
Dreams will fade
Wishes are lost
Gifts are returned
Acceptance is refuted
Direction can morph
Secrets get told
Freedom is taken
Growth can stall
Safety is an illusion
Warmth will diminish
Heroes can lie
Energy gets spent
Joy shall elude us
Saviors are pretend
Security won't last
Calm comes from chaos
Purpose will change
Value is diminished

This poem means so much to me. its speaks of all my deepest insecurities and hopes. if i were perfect, i would be happy. i would be loved. i would be understood. i would be ENOUGH. its all ive ever wanted... i just want to be enough. enough for you, enough for my family, enough for the colleges, enough for my future. 

but im not. i never will be. im worthless.
