Good Enough

~Under your spell again~

You walk into your small, one bedroom apartment, and drop your keys on the floor.

~I can't say no to you~

You peel of your thin tank top and slip out of your jeans.

~Crave my heart and it's bleeding in your hand~

Mascara is running down your cheeks and your face is all red from crying.

~I can't say no to you~

You make contact with your oversized bed and bury your face deep into the pillow.

~Shouldn't have let you torture me so sweetly~

You close your eyes tightly, replaying the lousy day over and over in your head.

~Now I can't let go of this dream~

Even though you don't want to, you can't get your mind off of everything that you did wrong today.

~I can't breathe but I feel~

But dispite yourself you can't help but smile at everything that "he" did right.

~Good enough~

Normaly after a day like this you would have headed straight for your one vice.

~I feel good enough for you~

But you just don't have the energy to make everything "all right" today.

~Drink up sweet decadence~

A week later, you're back where you started.

~I can't say no to you~

But this time you find your self on the bathroom floor.

~And I've completely lost myself, and I don't mind~

You've got to many things running through you mind but all you can think of is how you just want everything out of you.

~I can't say no to you~

For all your problems to go away, so you can feel like you used to again. When everything was good.

~Shouldn't let you conquer me completely~

You must have cried every night this week, and you hate how you are.

~Now I can't let go of this dream~

All you can say is that it's your fault, but something keeps you hanging on.

~Can't believe that I feel~

Something in the back of your head forces you away from all the dangerous places you used to go in your mind.

~Good enough~

It must be "him",

~I feel good enough~

And how "he" sets you right after such a long time.

~It's been such a long time coming, but I feel good~

And in your own odd way, this thought makes you happy, and you just have to smile through your tears.

~And I'm still waiting for the rain to fall~

It's been a month since you've layed on the bathroom floor, crying so hard.

~Pour real life down on me~

And you finialy feel good about where you are, and what you have become.

~'Cause I can't hold on to anything this good enough~

You've come to realise,

~Am I good enough for you to love me too~

That you are good enough, to have love too.

~So take care what you ask of me~

You're out of the bottom of the barel,

~'Cause I can't say no~

And you can only pray you'll stay that way.

Author notes

Okay, the song lyrics that I used with this story is Evanescences song Good Enough, and I love that song to pieces. It's my song through and through, and the topic I used up top was the one where someone suffers and recovers from a depression. It could also be put under teenage drama too I guess.
Well, I'm sorry if things are spelled wrong but I have posibly the worst computer in the world and it doesn't have spell check so, sorry!!
Hope you enjoyed the story/song.

    neat technique

    I really like the writing technique you used with this story. It kept my attention and forced me to figure out what was going on, so great job with it. I didn't notice anything major spelling errors or anything that leapt out at me or anything. Excellent job!

    Well, it's a good piece of work but there is one iffy thing: you were 450 words under the minimum word limit which decreases your chances a lot for placing.

    I didn't see any spelling/grammar mistakes from reading it so that's good.

    I really love that song, and yes you do have spelling errors. HOW DARE YOU! You're such a failure at life... or not.

    Anyways, good job.
