My Bedtime Fairytale
It’s the same
old story.
Your sob story.
Your success story.
Your cover story.
Every one
a tall story.
I build
a back story
and a story line
to understand,
but long story
short,
it’s all
in my head,
and in the story arc,
it’s the end
of the story.
Fair Enough
When is
enough is enough?
I should know,
though oddly enough
I don’t.
I learned
to leave well enough
alone
and good enough
is never
actually
good enough.
But maybe that’s
not enough
and there’s time enough
to unlearn.
Forget
enough said
and love withheld,
(it was never enough)
and move on.
Sure enough.
