All Wrong

why can I not live up to you
I look for approval again and again
but never find it
what is so wrong with me??

I walk around you with care
like walking on the sharpest glass
ever word i say seems to be the wrong one
and even when i don't speak i mess up

you critize me as if i'm nothing
you make jokes about me in front of my face
no wonder I never find good in myself
you feed me these things as satan would

Diane Christian May 21, 2009 at 11:43 PM this is another great powerful write, they should take the plank of wood out of their own eye before looking at a speck of dust in someone elses eye, they will be judged one day and the measure they dish it out now is the masure it will be returned to them later , I know it's hard but their time will come and then see what happens, they will see and they will be sorry. God bless you from diane

Ashe Kristy De La Keur Scoville May 20, 2009 at 2:36 PM I agree with Deborah get away from that person...once you do surround yourself with positive people...I did and it works wonders for your self esteem
