Enough
I just want to be enough.
I try my best, but everything seems so tough.
The harder I try, the higher the standards are raised.
I want my hard work to be acknowledged and praised.
I don't want to be a screw up and disappointment.
My life should be fun and full of enjoyment.
This is too much stress and pressure.
I'm only thirteen, I should be carefree and having an adventure.
I'm drained physically, mentally, and emotionally.
It seems like everyone is depending on me.
I try my best to make everyone proud.
The voices in my head, telling me to do better are so loud.
Im drained and tired like the wings of a bird.
Everyone not being satisfied is just absurd.
These expectations make me feel like a mouse in a trap.
Every time I'm told I could do better, in my face I feel a slap.
These expectations make me feel broken like a shattered dream
No one's ever thought about what I want, so it seems.
I just wanna have fun and take a break.
My future is something I don't yet want to face.
I'm living in the present now, so why dwell about my future?
For now my life should be filled with happiness and humor.
I try so hard, but I sometimes wanna give up.
I'm only human, but yet I wanna be enough.
