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

Dear Armara: Very good and sad poem. Abuse is something that happens all the time, yet very few people acknowledge it. Peace: Sheol
