Am I Enough?

Day after day
With mental illness
And chronic pain
I ask myself
Am I enough?
I used to know the answer
Never even had to ask
I parented, worked, played, friended
All taken for granted
Now just taken

Reborn into another realm
With new rules and new norms
It’s time for planting
And growing
Praying this barren new land
Will become familiar
And safe
A reason
to believe
I’m enough
