Why are you not good enough for me?
Why do you not meet my standards?
Why is it impossible to be good enough
For the one person we both have to live with?

Neither of us will ever be good enough
For me, my selfish reasons, my perfectionism.
Neither of us will ever be good enough.

You can't be good enough, for you're a person,
And I can't change you or your experiences,
And that's infuriating.
You can't be good enough because you make me angry,
And anger can't co-exist with anything else.

You can't be good enough because nothing is.
There's always a reason to be angry,
Always something I can't control,
Always something to nitpick.
Nothing can ever be good enough for me.

Why do you make me angry?
Why do I find it so hard to accept
That I can't change you?
Why do I find it so hard to accept
That there are things I don't understand
And you just think and feel different than I do?
Why can I not accept you?

I should have stayed alone.
You don't deserve to be thought of this way,
You don't deserve my frustration,
You don't deserve this poem.
I should have listened when I said I can't love,
I should have held myself to something.

You'll never be good enough for me.
I'll always hold too much rage
To muster anything else.
You'll never be good enough for me.
