never good enough

I'm tired of being me

of ripping the skin off my bones

like a scared little puppy

trapped in a corner all alone

helpless 

worthless 

always shaking 

always breaking 

afraid to speak up

I'm never good enough

never enough 

I'm tired of the makeup

of gloves and long sleeves

of the voices that won't shut up

I live in a web of endless deceits

tearless

breathless

always bleeding 

always running

afraid to stop

I'm never good enough 

never enough

I'm tired of being tired

dead empty all the time 

to the darkness hardwired 

a ruined wreck - I'm fine 

soulless 

aimless 

always hurting 

always dying

afraid to break off

I'm never good enough 

never enough
