never good enough,
never smart enough,
never funny enough,
never pretty enough,

you can try darling,
but you'll never be enough
so don't waste your time
fixing yourself up
to be someone
who you aren't

because darling,
you can try
but even as you're someone
who you aren't
it isn't enough
and you will never
be able to please
the hideous monsters
inside you
