Never Good Enough "Sweep the floor, Tidy your room," Always a chore. "Use a broom, Shut the door, It's not good enough," - this is my tomb. "Get straight As, Act your age," It's not just a phase. "Stay in your cage, Never laze, It's not good enough," - but I can't rage. "Carry my things, Be a loyal friend," You weigh down my wings. "For me you bend, We're now your kings, It's not good enough," - when will this end? "Work hard at school, Get a good job," My sweat and tears pool. "Do homework, don't sob, No one likes a fool, It's not good enough," - your heart doesn't throb. Parents, friends, teachers, peers, They have it wrong. I'm not the problem, I try my best. I wear myself thin I have nothing left to give. Because for you, I'll never be good enough.
