you know it's so frustrating
to know what you want
and to work hard
but to not see the results

there's that thing in your head
it says
no you can't
and you won't
it's not possible
you will never equate
to anything successful

and you believe it
you listen
and that's how you live your life
every day
you aren't enough
you are too awkward
you are not beautiful
you can't do a single thing right
you are everybody's last resort

and you try and try and try
but every single trial
is another downfall
square one again
you just aren't capable

so you continue to let
those words in
but there is that part of you
that will never let your past dreams go
so you do it all again
