Am I Good Enough

by Auctayvius Osborne aged 12

Am I good enough?
I ask that very often
I can handle it, I’m tough
As my heart softens

I feel amorousness
About her, yes her
My friends act with kindness
They say it’s okay, it’s all a blur

Am I good enough?
She says that I am
I say that’s just a bluff
I ask really, am I?

When I get home
I sleep on it
As I stare at my garden gnome
I asked myself if I should just quit

But I don’t ‘cause she’s my angel
Some say stop dreaming
As I feel shameful
I start cleaning

Am I really?
It may sound rough
I think I’m just being silly
But am I good enough?
