Why was I not good enough
To hold her attention?
I know I can be awkward and gruff,
But all I wished for was affection.
Am I cursed to forever fail,
At the things that matter most?
Who needs grades when the holy grail,
Is love, first and foremost.
Is this my doom?
Will I ever succeed?
Down I go into this gloom,
Tears streaming as I bleed.
It seems these wounds will never heal,
Always torn back open as the gash begins to mend.
Why does life seem so surreal?
My only wonder as reality starts to twist and bend.
This wave of feeling,
Threatening to send me over.
This boat is already reeling,
Rocking in a storm that is not getting clearer.
All my strength is diminished.
My exhausted heart can no longer take this kind of abuse.
But I can't leave my goals unfinished,
If only there is a way to form some sort of emotional truce.
