Failure

by @MeanAileen

I try so hard to do it all, I try to measure up to your standards. I've done the best that I know how, but I guess my best just isn't enough for you. I've compromised... ...I didn't do it right. I've sacrificed... ...I didn't do enough. I've given everything that I have to give, but I guess my all just isn't enough for you. I'm losing my will. I've lost all pride. I've forgotten how lovely it feels being happy... But you don't care. Why would you? I don't mean enough to you. Maybe if I try harder, and break a little more... Maybe one day I will be enough for you.
