Unanswerable Question

As a three year old
Sue was scolded
By her mother
For interrupting others
With her babble.
It was a seemingly
Innocuous incident,
But Sue interpreted
It to mean
She was bad,
Not good enough
To be heard.
From then on
She questioned
Whether or not
Anything she did
Was good enough.
She was driven
To perform,
To be the best,
To prove herself,
But nothing she did
Ever proved a thing.
No matter what
She accomplished
Or what acknowledgment
She received,
The question still remained,
“Was she good enough?”
It was a question
For which there was
No answer.
