Never Enough

When will I be enough

Am I not what you dream of?

You beast, you haunt my nightmares

Not that you would care

You say “kid, you’ll go far”

Then you cut off my legs

How can I walk on water

When I’m down under, drowning?

And still you keep on frowning…

 

You only hold me back

You ball and chain.
