Not Good Enough

Not Good Enough

A Poem by Fernanda

I did my best.
I tried the hardest.
And still, it wasn’t good enough.
I did everything you asked me to.
I went to the end of the world to please you
And still, it wasn’t good enough.

My grades are high
I don’t drink
I don’t smoke
The money I spend is on books
And still, I’m not good enough for you.

You tell me you love me
Than yell straight to my face
You tell me you love me
Then why can’t you show it?

I’ve been doing my best
Trying the hardest I can
The results look great
I should be happy
But how can I smile
When I’m not good enough?

Lovely poem, the emotion is conveyed into words well. Not something everyone can do. maybe next time try adding some imagery? Life can be tough, and parents and adults can be irritating and unfair. Maybe it's just time to start trying to be good enough for yourself instead. :)
