Not Good Enough

No one understands how alone I feel. When you look in my eyes and one might see happiness inside but within my bones, I’m falling apart.

Not Good Enough

© Imza

I help you through hard times, as you do I

But you really don’t know how much I hide

Even though we are the best of friends

I really don’t think you can understand

I can’t bear the hurt, I can’t stand the pain

A feeling of numbness I can’t explain.

This is a life in which I walk alone

Full of hope shattered and broken

Always angry for no reason at all

Constantly wanting to end this brawl

Fighting with myself again, and again,

Sometimes I want this life to end

Mom’s depressed but chooses to hide

Takes out her anger on those by her side

Doesn’t understand I try to help

She shuns me out, and hates instead

Grandma’s enduring an unstoppable fate

sickness has gotten her on the plate

Its sad to see such an innocent person

Become another cancer victim

Too many friends are hurt as well

Thinking that their life is hell

Too many friends wanting to stop

Thinking suicide is the only option

But inside me is the worst of all

I don’t know how long I can stand tall

Memories of happiness are shooed away

But horrible twisted thoughts to stay

Nothing I do can make her proud

There’s no silver lining on her clouds

I’m a rainstorm filled with dark black skies

And a haunting rainfall full of lies

I only wish I could make her see

I’m trying hard so I can be

Someone she that can trust and love

Instead she tells me I’m not good enough

Everything I do is a wrong decision

She constantly tells me I’m not living

The path that she truly wishes I’d take

But I’m only one big mistake

If I could I’d erase myself from here

I wouldn’t have to live this fear

I also wish I could be skinny

And always happy, fun, and pretty

Instead I look at myself in the mirror

Disappointed in the reflection that appears

It’s hard to live when you don’t love who you are

Wishing that you could change it all

Every day I make a mental note

How much would I miss, if I decide to go

And how much hurt makes me lean towards the edge

Is slowly creeping up the hedge

How much longer can I last?

Before my life becomes one of the past.
