Dad

No matter how hard i try its never good enough 
no matter how hard i fight i'm never strong enough 
no matter how hard i sing i'm never the best 
no matter how  hard i study i cant past that test 
no matter how hard i scream you never listen to me 
no matter how hard i try to be what you want me to be
its never good enough for you 
So when an i ever gonna be good enough for you dad 
how many nights do i have to spend sad and alone
all because you wont pick up the phone how many 
time will i let this go on before i am 
                                        GONE

It helps to pour out your heart, Cortney.....so feel free to let us hear your pain.....however, know that you can find the strength within your own heart to be wise, strong, happy and realize others aren't as capable of such strength....we must learn to let some things go....be yourself, and feel good about yourself. You are so worthy of love.

What a sad write Cortney. You can't live your life to please everyone. Be who you are do the best you can and if it is not appreciated go on with your life without the one who brings you down. Love, Carol
