Up Your Standards

Good enough.
Physical recovery
without the emotional,
the spiritual. Settling.
We who felt worthless,
who could not acknowledge
a right to exist,
we who drew our being
from the judgment of others…
We who have no concept
of our potential dare not —
without intervention
from a greater power —
have no idea how high
our standards, our growth,
our achievements, our recovery
just might be.
