Never Enough
I pushed myself harder,
But it wasn't enough.
I tried more,
it still wasn't good enough
I smiled around you,
but you still disapproved.
I ran farther but you still Dragged me back
I hid my problems,
so you made new ones
I pleaded for you to stop,
but you kept on striking
I cry for help,
but no one ever hears
I pretend to be OK,
but i can't bear the pain.
I bleed every night,
to make up for my lack of....
The LACK of what you expected of me
