It's My Life.

by Emzie   Dec 13, 2004


Why can I never reach,
Your standards set so high,
Why do I feel so worthless,
With everyday that goes by.

Why do you expect so much,
From a little girl like me,
I'm not ready for this life,
Can't you see?

Why do you want me to be,
Somebody I'm just not,
I've tried to be good enough,
I gave it my bestest shot.

Why can't you just accept,
My best as it is,
For it is the best,
That I can give.

I know you care,
And I'm glad you do,
But I thought it was easy to see,
I'm never going to be you.

You fill my mind,
With ways to be the best,
Constantly repeating,
"This is not a test!".

Okay, so I admit,
I need a push sometimes,
But you have to remember,
It's my life.

*This might not make sense to you, but it's about my mum and how i feel i'll never be good enough for her..*
