Old clothes, too small now, yet <br />even when I wore them it was <br />not good enough, never good <br />enough, I could never be thin <br />enough to meet the norm <br /> <br />I am too short, my shoulders <br />broad, I could not look good in <br />whatever I wore, even when <br />my thin clothes was a perfect <br />fit, it was not good enough <br /> <br />My old black skirt, these jeans - <br />still I keep them in my cupboard <br />amongst old files and books and <br />toys, the memory of how hard I <br />tried to meet the norm <br /> <br />But fatigue won…<br /><br />Margaret Alice<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/not-good-enough-12-june-2009/
