The Pursuit of “Good Enough”

The pursuit of good enough

is a dangerous road

fraught with heartache

and longing of old

It’ll take you down if you let it

it will

It will leave you out in the cold

.

The pursuit of good enough is a clambering slog

Then a precipitous drop

through the densest of fog

It will steal your desire to go on

it will

Bereft, panting like a dog

.

The pursuit of good enough’s not a pursuit at all

It’s a misplaced hope

a dash and a call

It will hide your true potential

it will

And leave you feeling lost and small

.

Then what should you do to fight the fear

that “something’s not right” is all you hear

The pursuit masks your worth

it will

So stop chasing.

Instead, just appear.
