intrinsically

For as long as I can remember, I’ve longed to be enough.

It started with hoping to be enough. That I was worth waiting for.

I wasn’t. And in every relationship since I have had that desire to be enough.

Enough to be loved. Enough to be a priority.

I want to be loved for who I am. Accepted for who I am not. I want to exist in a place that values me for me, and not the things I do.

I put myself last so frequently but when I am at my breaking point, can I be seen?

I want to be, intrinsically, enough.
