The Never-Ending Enough

By Megha Nathani

From A to Z
To all the scribbled words on our shirts.
From not being able to say anything
To finally be silent, 'cause we are unheard.
From life as a blossom
To an adult with responsibilities.
From being a generation
To create a new one.

From family
To the external world.
From making promises
To their maintaining.
Doesn't matter if it's a friend
Or our own self,

We often forget
The baggage on our shoulders.
From deep within our hearts
To our physical attire.
From biology chapters
To the actual feel of private parts.
Numbness,
Soreness,
Collected and thrown as if in a dump yard.
We are all just trying, trying, and trying
To at least be enough.

But we can't!
