Array ( [sid] => 147513 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Inadequate [time] => 2009-01-19 19:25:41 [hometext] => When you feel like you are not good enough, your world starts to come undone... [bodytext] => I try to understand why I feel the way I do
Nothing ever seems good enough for you

I try and try to make you happy and fail
I'm always walking down the wrong trail

I'm sorry I am a mistake and that I ever tried
But you can't say that you never lied

You hurt me and its okay
As long as I don't hurt you any day

I know I am a failure at heart and you don't have to remind me
Because at night in bed, failure is all I see

I wish I knew how to make it up to you but I do not
Another failure that I caught

If I knew how to fix it all i would
That is if I could

But the truth is I don't and so I can't help it
I am just an alone and lost misfit

I fail with every turn I make
Trying to please you was a big mistake

I should just run away and never come back
My life is far from being on track

I am just 17, a teenager I know
But I can't always take every blow

So I am a failure and I'll accept it as I have to
Because I know I have no hope from you...

But all I wanted was to please you
So now what do I have left to do
But to turn around and give up on everything I love
I have no blessings from up above

ah yes, the bitter pill of inadequacy. men always want their women to be perfect all the time, rather than being perfect themselves. therefore i would say it is the men that are inadequate. a passionate write.

I've felt these same feelings once in my life.
I think we all have.
Remember this...
If any man makes you feel like this,
He's not worth it.
He doesn't deserve you.
Right now it feels like he's the one you want.
I know... I've felt that too...
but in a couple years, you'll see he was a waste of your time.
Trust...
Very passionate.
you did a good job.
