Good Enough.

My report card came.

A,A,A,A,A

Then a B.

"Why can't you get all A's?" They would shout.

Not good enough.

I cleaned the whole house. Just to be a good child.

"Why didn't you sweep the attic?"

Not good enough.

It's never "Well done!" for what I did do.

It's always about what I didn't.

I'm never  good enough.
