Never good enough

Top of my class in one thing,1

Bottom in another,2

Which counts more?3

I can write a poem,4

Who cares?5

I can't do math,6

Failed again,7

Failed forever,8

Don't care,9

Don't count,10

Never enough,11

No matter what I do,12

Stocking shelves,13

Ripped apart for missing one,14

Cleaning floors,15

Condemned for missing a spot,16

Never enough,17

Don't care,18

Don't matter,19

You useless!20

But, but, but....21

But what?22

Hang head in shame,23

walk away,24

Never enough,25

No matter what i do,26

Never good enough,27

No matter what I do.28

Author notes

Kind of disjointed but gets across what I'm trying to say. No matter what i do i always get pulled up for the mistakes, never praised for the good. Confidence dies very quickly that way.

    Very simple yet terribly strong. The pain I can feel in my own heart. Excellent!
