not enough

my love, I am sorry
i am sorry that I am not good enough
i am sorry I am not what you wanted
i am sorry I am not what you expected me to be
i am sorry that i'm not pretty enough
i am sorry that I am weak
i am sorry for not being confident
sorry that i'm not skinny enough
i'm not smart enough
not sportive enough
not talented enough
not enough for you
not enough for anyone
not enough

but I already know all of this
i knew it before you came
trust me i was reminded of it enough
i was aware of it before
i don't need you to tell me
i don't need anyone to point out
that i am not enough
cause that I am already telling myself
day after day
night after night
so stop making me feel like i am not enough
if i am not enough then leave me
go find someone else, someone better
cause no one is allowed to tell me
that I am not enough
apart from myself, my disease
