My Poetry

Never Good Enough

I've come so far but not far enough.
I still get hurt when I play too rough.
I know I act it out but I'm not so tough.
I'm not even good, let alone perfect.

I've been much worse than I am today,
But I still can't control everything I say.
I'm still fighting while begging you to stay.
Now I'm alone in the dark to reflect.

"The past doesn't matter,"
You happily chatter
And smile and flatter,
But it's still part of me.

I fought it bitterly to be who I am today.
I overcame so much so I could stand here and say,
"I'm trying my best to be better each day,
But sometimes I'm just not what I should be."

I'm not good enough for you.
I'm not good enough for me.
I'm not good enough
And I never will be.
