The Soul Searching Stops Here

Being good enough
Is a virtue
We all hold
Much too often

We can't possibly
Reach the expectations
Of another soul
When we can't even please our own

Maybe that is our
Ultimate goal
Never satisfied with our selves
So long as we satisfy someone else

It's not always an act
Of selfishness
Or hate
To be tired of caring

We're not always the antagonist
Just for not wanting
To be there for the ones
Who give up

Because we gave up
A long while ago
And no one wanted
To kiss our hands and take us away

But we know now
That it's all okay
Not from some
Impacting altercation

But the sheer
Realization
That awakened minds
Don't need unsteady hearts

To help us move
Right along
On our ascending path
Of life
