I feel as if I'm not good enough,
Must I compare myself to your ideal?
The criticism is just too much,
How do you expect me to feel?
Can I do anything right?
Will there always be something you see?
Can there ever be a time
That you will accept me for me?
Try as I might
With each turn I take,
Will I ever be right
In the decisions I make?
In your shadow I live,
From your mistakes do I learn,
If you could just see,
It's your acceptance I yearn.

shit chica, that made the hair on my arms stand up... that speaks too close to the soul.... painfully close
ReplyDeleteI concur with you words and the comment above. I battle with these feelings almost everyday. Sometimes, I wish I just didn't care, but unfortunately, I do. Powerful words that are universal.
