Just Live Poem by Renee Marie

"You ARE enough",
the therapists claim!
How can I agree
when I'm always to blame?
How can I prove it,
and stop the debate;
rewrite the song
removing self-hate?
I'm tired of faking,
pretending I'm less;
I am good enough,
in fact, I'm the BEST!
The therapist said,
"our work here is done,
self-loathing has turned
into something more fun"!
Now one thing still lingers
and this might be true
I paid them too much
and I already knew!
I dumped out the bottles,
my resolve was made tough;
life is the medicine
and I'm good enough!
