I AM not enough…
to live up to all of the projected expectations of me.
I AM not enough…
to live the dream other people planned for me.
I AM not enough…
to be everything to everyone.
I AM not enough…
to build my dreams while putting everyone else first.
I AM not enough…
to give from a dry well.
I AM not enough…
to be the projected fantasies of me.
I AM not enough…
to do the work for anyone other than myself.
I AM not enough…
to be the emotional dumping ground.
I AM not enough…
to carry the burden of the whole world’s suffering.
I AM not enough…
to hold space for the fence-sitters.
I AM not enough...
to forgo my needs, values, and spiritual Truths in an attempt to please others.
I AM not enough…
to keep pretending to be anyone other than Who I AM.
I AM not enough…
the grin and bear it.
I AM not enough…
to withhold the gifts that feel dangerous to others.
I AM not enough…
to fight for things that don’t matter to me.
I AM not enough…
to live on a pedestal.
And what liberating news that is.
