I tried so hard to be who you wanted me to be <br />But now I know that it will never be good enough for you <br />I wish I could, <br />for once in my life, <br />Make you proud <br />I can’t change the past <br />And make things right <br />I only wish you knew how much I hate myself for it <br />I can’t be perfect <br />I’m sorry if what I do isn’t good enough for you <br />And if you disapprove it only makes me feel <br />Like I have failed you once again <br />I’m sorry I didn’t turn out to be the person you expected <br />But I can’t change who I am <br />I will never be you and I know that is what you want <br />But it isn’t going to happen <br />Did you know you I used to wish I could be like you? <br />That isn’t the case anymore <br />How can I be like someone who is always trying to change me? <br />I can’t <br />I will never be good enough for you <br />No matter how hard I try <br />It is never enough <br />I don’t know if I will ever make you proud<br /><br />JJ Lockhart<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/never-good-enough-for-you/
