Am I okay?

Should I give up?
Trying her best, but it isn't enough.
Giving it her all, but it isn't enough.
"Is that all?"
"Can't you try harder?"
"Do more!"
All these meaningless opinions 
effecting me, barging in.
When will it go away?
Sleepless nights, silently crying. 
When will someone listen and not judge me?
Can't they let me be ?
Can't stop my thoughts from being clouded by such things.
Should I give up?
