A Poem by Meghan Renee
"

never enough

"
i am both
    too much
    not enough
a half
    empty
a half
    full
kinda girl
who will never satisfy
      anyone

i try
    to be there
i sacrifice
    bits of myself for others
be what they
      need
      want

i can play a part
    a role
tree b
    they'll call me
never the
      star
      understudy
only ever unimportant
      part of the background
i can never be
    your spotlight
just the support

i am only useful
    sometimes
needed
    momentarily
never to be
      desired
a half-sentenced left unfinished

Sometimes truth is only exposed by the written word, but that does not give it any less meaning. This cuts, likely because every word of it is true, and that gives it a punch you don't always find it writing of any type. The format and lack of capitalizing did throw me for a loop, but I'm guessing that its personal preference. I can't tell you what stuck out the most, but I sure hope you know how much meaning your words have in them.

Writing is both my passion and coping mechanism. When I was twelve/thirteen, I became incredibly depressed. I couldn't get out of bed and ended up dropping out of school for the next two years. Dur.. more..
