When is your best not enough?
Is it when your ulcer eats you alive
Your own stomach can't stand you
You vomit your disgusting self back to the world
All beat up and feeling worthless?
Would that qualify as putting in your heart and soul?
Fighting, striving, almost dying
Pushing limits, mood swings
Depression settling in.
Making your body its home and you have nowhere to go.
No one to turn to.
Hope literally swept away from under your feet.
Snatched right out of your hands after grasping it for barely a few seconds.
Leaving you hanging.
Light going dim then flickering off.
Tired of having to keep lighting those match sticks.
Time after time.
I'm tired of hearing it's okay.
I'm tired of trying.
I'm tired of asking for help.
I'm tired of helping.
I'm tired of hoping.
I don't want anything anymore.
They were right, I failed.

Great write
One day you will realize that the failure you're feeling is temporary. Let time takes its course and you will find happiness. My poems are all about a girlI have been hung up on for 2 years, the most beautiful girl you will ever see. I wont stop fighting until shes mine. Never stop fighting
Maybe I misunderstood this poem but I find it very positive, like someone who broke out of chains. Like someone who has gotten tired of validation and accepted to have failed, who won't care anymore of what they think and will do things their way from now on.
