Not Enough

Am I not good enough for the world?
Do I not try hard?
Why can’t you just accept me?
Who I am and what I’ve become,

I know I have a few bumps,
But doesn’t everyone,
Just because I cut and have depression,
Doesn’t mean that I’m not worthy of your time,

You could have just shut up,
And kept it to yourself,
But no you had to put it down in writing,
And send it to my once happy home,

I may as well give up now,
Save myself the heartache,
Of being knocked back once more,
And for one less scar to see.
