I was never enough

I was never enough.
I’m still not enough.

I’m not big enough, strong enough, willful enough to live the life I have today.
I will always need something to make it OK. This is my disease.

It used to be that I needed so many things that made me OK to be in the world.
The result was that I was less than without it.

Today Your Grace is the thing that makes it OK for me to be in the world
And the result is that I am more than without it.
