I'll never measure up

Here I am with a tear stained face

Hoping you’ll accept me.

Once again I fall short

Even if I reached perfection

I’d fail in your eyes

I admit it, I’m unhappy.

You can’t force me to like you

When all you do is put me down.

I need friends

But you don’t allow that

I don’t like you

And I never want to

I’ll never be good enough

Smart Enough

I’ll never measure up.
