not enough

I think ive fallen off my rocker
my thoughts echo so loud i might go bonkers
its in my mind this monstrus thing
sending shivers down my spine daring me to try again
Loving you was everything I thought it would be
And so much more than I could have imagined
Loving you was canceling plans to spend time with you
You Say That You Love Me, I Know You Don’t
Heartbreak,
Cold chills run down my spine,
as I quiver and shake.
Tears leak from my eyes as petals fall from flowers.
Heartbreak,
Why not say hi or give a smile,
to show them how you've felt for some while?
Is it fear of rebuff,
or that you're not enough?
But what if that wasn't the case?
That's not how they see your beautiful face.
It's funny
How I convinced myself
That you weren't
Replacing me
Just making new friends
But my worst fears
Became true
Because of you
I became another girl
Fast food every night might sound ideal to a kid
but it left her often hungry for more.
She'd rummage through half-empty cupboards,
the kithen walls sticky with cigarette tar,
im not enough for you
i dont have a butt
i dont have boobs
i dont have a skinny waist
i dont eat enough food
i dont put enough effort in my looks
im not smart enough and i dont read a lot of books
Brother: Sister
was i never enough?
to keep you smiling
when things got tough?
Mother:Father
was i never enough?
no not good enough.
to feel you love
Take a deep breath,
You know it’s not enough,
Listen to those voices
All in your head.
Tell them to stop
Before they stop you.
Take a step forward,
You know it’s not enough,
my life
is a flurry of
inhale and exhale
just trying to breathe
just trying to breathe
