[maverick_paw]

not quite enough

look upon myself in the mirror,
I do not see the beauty,
I see nothing of what you wish me to be,
Everything i am is nothing,
Nothing short of failure.

Poison in every teardrop,
As i remember how i used to be,
You secretly wish for something else,
For me to be what you see,
Not pleased enough with what i am.

I thought you different,
i scold myself again,
Believing i am wrong for being this way,
My fault for not being good enough,
Ice in my fingertips,
In my heart.

Release me,
Let me be who i am,
Stop secretly longing,
For something i cannot become for you,
You hurt me ...
You hurt me ....
You kill me .....
