Enough

What have I done now?
Tell me, what is it really?
You just keep on nagging
What is it about me?

Lately I have been the target
You yell at me for everything
I try so hard for you
But hate is all you bring

What do you want?
What more do I need to do?
I try the hardest of all
But nothing is good enough for you

Your fits and rants
Dirty glares now and then
You tell me you're proud of me
Then you go and degrade me again

I've been the golden child my whole life
I always do everything with you in mind
I don't drink, I've never smoked or cut
Since when is excellence a crime?

Not that it matters
I never get acknowledged for my trying
You are too busy with the failing
To see my hopes and dreams dying

You tell me I need to talk to you
But you only listen to what you want to hear
If I speak up for me at all
You intimidate me with fear

And I don't let people push me around
I do what I can bear
But I have no chance with you around
It simply isn't fair

I feel like giving up
Maybe you'll notice if I fail
I wish I could do that
But my heart is much too frail

I've done too much to stop now
I've accomplished so much
But now, it's easy for me to see
To you, so much isn't enough.
