Never Enough

I pushed myself harder,
But it wasn't enough.
I tried to gave more, 
it still wasn't good enough
I smiled pretty for you,
but you still disapproved.
I ran farther but you still 
Dragged me back
I hid my problems,
so you could make new ones
I pleaded for you to stop,
but you kept on striking.
I cry for help, 
but no one ever hears.
My voice is gone now.
Listen
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
