Maybe I'm Not Good Enough

I never knew being born would cause you so much misery.

Maybe I'm Not Good Enough
Chaz Kimble

Maybe I’m not good enough for you

Maybe I’m not

Maybe


But then again

Maybe it’s you

That’s not good enough for me


It never ceases

The way you make me feel

Like I shouldn’t exist

And sometimes I wish

I never existed

Then maybe you could

Live in bliss

Since I’m the reason

For so much you miss


Maybe then I’d be good enough

To be loved by you

The one to give their life

For the love of you

Too bad for you

I’m not that type of fool


Please forgive me

I never knew my being born

Would cause you so much misery

But make no mistake

I wouldn’t take it back

Even if I could


This whole situation has taught me a lot

And even though I can’t replace

The bond and love I thought we had

I can replace the faux love

With real love from myself

I may be the only one grateful for me

But I am good enough

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
