I Will Never Be Good Enough


No matter what I do

What I try to do

It will never be right

It will never be what you want

It never will be good enough

But what about me

I have dreams

Hopes

Passions

Ideas

Things that don’t involve you

But you push

And push

To the point where I’m standing on the edge

Ready to fall

Ready to jump

If I jump I will save my dreams

My hopes

Passions

Ideas

Because you would not have tainted them

I am not you,

You are not I

 We are two different people

Let me live my life

Before you push me to the point of no return

I am my own person

Let me make my own expectations

Because I will never live up to yours

You cannot control me

I don’t want to be controlled by you

Set me free

Or else I will fight

I will fight every step of the way

And you wont like it
