Never Good Enough
So here it goes I am going to try
To explain to you all the reasons I’ve cried
I truly do love more than anything else
But I feel like a joke when I look at myself
The feeling I have is so hard to let go
I’ve tried and I’ve tried more than you’ll ever know
I don’t quite know how to say it out loud
How long and how badly I’ve been in this cloud
All the nights that I’ve spent just wishing for you
I never gave up on this love that is true
I should’ve gave up a long time ago
But for some strange reason I never let go
I don’t understand how all this came upon
One dumb little fifth grader who really held on
But there’s just something about you that I can’t define
Your eyes and your smile, they really do shine
Your pulling me closer with each breath that you take
Leaving me dying every moment I wake
I want you so badly, this feeling’s insane
But I know that I am the one who’s to blame
I wish you’d just want me like in all of my dreams
But life’s not a fairytale; they’re all just a scheme
Something wrong with this poem?
