Never Good Enough


I look past your lies

I now see it all, all your lies

You were ashamed to know me, weren’t you?
You were embarrassed to be by me, weren’t you?
You were ashamed! You were embarrassed! You were, weren’t you?

And that’s not the worst, you were embarrassed, ashamed . . .

Of me.

You didn’t want to be near me
You didn’t want to see me
You didn’t want to hear me
You didn’t want to know me

YOU. DIDN’T. WANT. ME.

I was never good enough
I was never mature enough
I was never cool enough
I was never old enough
I was never good enough for you

I WAS NEVER GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU!

I am tired of having to mold myself for you
I am tired of waiting for you to notice the real me
I am tired, so tired . . . I am tired

But that’s not the worst, most of all, I am tired, 

Of you.

Because, I was never good enough for you, 

never good enough . . .
