Is my good..not good enough

See that tear in my eye 

Well it's full pain

If I give up now

Does it mean everything I've struggled for

Done in vain?

I know times get rough

But it seems as if my good just isn't....

Good enough

I try an give my all

Still some how I seem to fall

I look for inspiration 

And all I find is temptation 

Leading to my corruption

So now I'm thinking and breathing

Heavy 

Just waiting on the day that 

All this will break me

I feel like I'm chained at my hands and

My feet

So instead of trying 

I lie in defeat 

Ashamed of my failures

At times I feel like this war I'll never

Win

And my only option is to retreat
