I spend the nights staring at the ceiling
What really is this feeling
I am right there and yet not
Thinking of all the things I have achieved
And yet the feeling of self worth is far from being perceived
The list of blessings is really a lot
And yet somehow it falls short
Already burnt enough
Why is the sail still so rough
The existence covets endline
Helplessly looking for a sign
I ask myself these questions
Of the answer there is no mention
This feeling has an impression so forlorn
To misery this life has already sworn
But I am not complaining
For nothingness is a gracious guest
Like inadequacy that gives me everyday it’s best.

A lovely flow to this poem. Although the title and overall theme is one of feeling inadequate, there is an underlying tone of hope at the end of this poem. Writing this poem should be added to your “list of blessings.”

‘The list of blessings is really a lot

You know deep inside you’re blessed, yet, you want more. Then you feel you’re guilty of ingratitude. But you know too that you’re grateful, but you can’t stop wanting more.

I hope that that is “just” poetry and not how you really feel on a day to day basis. I suffer from intensely black moods, and so your poem has great resonance with me.

This encompasses how I have felt most of the year. Somehow when people say it’s a pandemic I should feel lucky to just survive it, the inadequacy still lingers.

This is lovely. Who hasn’t thought these thoughts/feelings of inadequacy, yet somehow we stumble through life working hard to make something of it? I agree heartily with one of the commenters, “The ending accepting inadequacy is true girl power!” Fabulous. Thanks for visiting my blog as well. I’d love to have you comment on my story, Jenny’s Bumpy Start. It fits right in with this subject of inadequacy.
