Never Good Enough

Everyone says that if you try hard enough
You have a chance of making it,

Well these people are very lucky then

Because for me I’m just a misfit.

You try and you do your best

But don’t reach your goal,

There’s no point in trying

So I’ll just go hide in a hole.

 

When you don’t make it

People give you pity,

Back off and leave me alone

I’m not some little kitty.

I’m constantly being compared

To the one person I really hate,

Everyone thinks she is so perfect

She’s a ten and I’m a negative eight.

She looks down on me

Watching as I continue to fail,

She notices my mistakes
But not my skin, completely pale.

I’ve given up on life

No point in trying anymore,

Leave me alone in the dark

Let me die here on the floor.

She will always be better

Better than me at everything,

Let me die with this knife

Cutting my skin, it doesn’t sting.

I’m done trying and living

I’m done pretending to be tough,

She’s the best at everything

While I was never good enough.
