My ramblings on things

Chapter 2: Asymptonic

Notes:

I wrote this far too long ago in about 2016 I think? My friend and I decided to challenge each other to write a poem themed around a word. Hence the title. Mine was way better than hers by the way.

Chapter Text


Enough is a wonderful word,

The highest praise

Comes on the day

When you can say we're done here.

 

Enough is a powerful word,

It's enticing

Rewarding

It tells you that you're done here.

 

But there is a catch with that word,

When you know you can fly closer to the sun,

Maybe if you were just a bit kinder

Or nicer

Or maybe just wiser

Then maybe that is enough.

 

Enough is a dangerous word

There's always something

One more thing to do

You won't ever be done here.

 

Enough is a powerful word

When you set your eyes on the horizon

It says you'll be done never

When you finally reach there.

 

We know the strength of that word

Infinity is never that far

If you haven't gone far enough.

 

You'll never be kind enough

Or nice enough

Or wise enough

And no matter what you'll keep on going

Pushing past any semblance of safety

Thinking you're so close to it

But never quite being
