My Best

By Brittany

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I've tried for nearly 16 years now to please you all to be what you wanted me to be I no longer can do that I've tried to put on that little happy face to smile, while insdie my blood is boiling I no longer can do that I've tried to remember the good when all there really was to see was violence uncontrolled to be happy the way things are now I no longer can do that You all pain me so make me want to leave this world to plot my own termination (despite where I'm likely to go) You all pain me so there's nothing left to live for my heart has grown heavy from hurt And yet you still tell me: "Your best just isn't enough"yes, the point of snapping.. it's amazing how much easier it is to write though after your depression has finally taken over your body..
