Am I Good Enough Yet?

by Jenni Marie   May 6, 2008


And everyday is painful, constantly seems I'm shaking
Tears pooling in these eyes, this heart is slowly breaking
Nails become so weak and brittle, hair gone dry and flat
Dropping pounds every day but all that I can see is fat

Feeling my heartbeat quickly becoming weaker every day
Trusted you to help yet you silently watch my life decay
Tell me what I did to deserve this pain, why choose me
Are you happy now you've left me in complete misery?

The exercise is getting longer, always feeling so weak
Constantly you promised I'd achieve a good physique
But now it seems that all you ever do is yell and insult
No matter how much I lose, never happy with the result

Don't know how much longer I can keep up this facade
Swore to always be here for me, so why do I feel betrayed
Can feel this body slowly shutting down, so tired of crying
Meant to help me, but you have left me alone and dying

So take a good look at what you have made me become
Can see you smiling because you know that you've won
Worked your charm on me, clearly you have no regrets
Slowly dying, so tell me Ana...am I good enough yet?

    'And everyday is painful, constantly seems I'm shaking

    ^^ the starting is amazing.. from here on the reader is captivated to read on... so wonderfully described...

    'Slowly dying, so tell me Ana...am I good enough yet? '

    ^^ the ending is sad... depressing .. and a feeling of pity arises...

    excellent write..
