It seems like
Everything I do
Is wrong.
Why do I even
Try anymore
To please you?
What must I do
To see your
Pride in me?
I have done
What I can
But you don't
Even care.
You don't even say
'I'm proud of you'.
What do you want
Me to do?
When you say
'Good job'
Your eyes say
'Disappointment'
'You didn't try
Hard enough'
But you know
I stay up long
Nights trying as
Hard as I can.
I stay up long
Nights wishing I
Was good enough
Then crying because
You make it seem
Like I'm not.
Why am I never
Good enough for you?
To me, I win.
But to you, I was
Never in it to begin.
