Enough
I sit here in this very room alone
every night contemplating my life and choices
thinking to my self will i ever be Enough
will i ever be Enough for my father
will i ever make him happy
will i ever be Enough to be loved right
sometimes when i have good days
i always think im Enough for everything
but lately it seems like no matter
what i do or say
i will never be Enough
not Enough for anyone
or anything
About This Poem
Last Few Words: We as humans always fight with out self's or our anxiety and we tend to push our self down and we tend to have pressure from others or family to be successful , but we usually feel like we fail especially when they tend to react negative towards you , so i felt this was really relatable.
Style/Type: Free verse
Review Request Intensity: Please use care (this is a sensitive subject for me, do not critique harshly)

As Teddy says...
Welcome to Neo. and I hope you find your voice here. You have a very good start and I can find nothing to
criticize. I do agree with her, that the capitalization of [enough] makes it seem like it is of extreme importance and makes the lines that contain it that much more valuable. Nice work for your first here. I hope that we will see much more from you. ~ Geezer.

Hello!
Wonderful poem. I, too, like that you used a capital for Enough. I feels like you personified it, as if Enough is a completely different person than you - not you. Maybe another poem around the corner has "i" in caps and Enough in lower case?
Thank you!

I forgot to add perhaps a stronger title something to draw a person in
