I am Not a Failure

My shortcomings aren't what sends me over the edge

It's knowing that I am not and never will be good enough

It's the torture and taunting that my own mind creates

It's the fear and worry over this feeling of impending doom

It's the snide glance they give me that creates a "down the lane" ****

It's trying your hardest and it not ever being enough

It's the feeling of failure

But mostly, it's knowing that all these things aren't true and feeling them anyway
