NEVER GOOD ENOUGH

never good enough

never fast enough

never smart enough

never pretty enough

never nice enough

never skinny enough

im never good enough



have you ever thought

that maybe i am good enough?

maybe your expectations are the things

that need to be adjusted?

im so tired of being pushed to the ground

its hard to get back up

when you stand over me that way

with your face red and disappointed



do you think i really enjoy

crying myself to sleep?

do you think i enjoy this stress?

these four walls are all i have

to hide from their judgement

its not fair

that im never good enough
