I will never be good enough for you. Not now, not ever. I've tried so hard, but I only receive harsh words in return. It's strange, when you're distracted, I want your attention. But when I get your attention, I wish you'd ignore me again. It's hard to sit still and listen to you compare me to the joy of your past. You know your "criticism" hurts me, so why do you do it? You created me. Do you enjoy destroying me as well? Over time, my skin should've grown thicker; my heart, stronger. But every new wound stings as badly as the first one. I love you, but I hate how you make me feel. Because of you, my dreams are shattered, my hope is lost, and my faith has faded. Because of you, I will be forever chasing the person that you want me to be. But that's still not good enough for you.
