I tried my best.
I worked harder than I have ever worked.
I sacrificed love, laughs, friendships, everything I had.
I put in every ounce of myself.
I lost my self.
But that wasn’t enough
It never seems to be enough
I am never good enough.. for anyone
I am never pretty enough
Skinny enough
Smart enough
I am never enough
But I try so hard.
The worst thing to me
Is to try and still fail
To know the work you did never payed off
To see the sacrifices you made weren’t just enough
To feel that you should have put more in
To know you will never get back what you lost
I tried.
I really did.
But no one seems to notice?
Not after I have failed.
Once I have failed it is always, ‘you should have worked harder’
But I am putting every ounce of my body on the line
I am just never enough
And that is the worst thing.
