Array ( [sid] => 148628 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Not Good Enough [time] => 2009-03-21 00:38:31 [hometext] => [bodytext] => Am I not good enough?
Do you not see the strength that I have found?
Why did you leave when I needed you most?
Why does everyone follow in your footsteps?

I sit here a child left alone,
expected to find strength I never knew.
Tears have fallen down my face so many times,
I could fill the oceans with sorrow.

So much anger bottled up inside,
from all the times people have turned there backs.
You wonder why I am this way,
why I do the things I do.

Can't you see I am not a monster,
that I deserve a life just like you.
I am tired of the staring,
and all the lies.

I am just a man,
finding his worth.
And seeing with new eyes,
all the misplaced faith.

I trusted you,
I loved you.
Yet you turned your back,
and left me there alone.

I try to find someone,
someone to mean something.
And all I find is dirt,
and hate.

You wonder why I break,
wonder why I hate.
It because of all the hurt,
that I have suffered as if its my fate.

I have broken,
to the point where life meant nothing.
Where I sat here in the dark,
wondering if I could go on.

No hope,
no love,
no friends,
nothing.

Its how I felt,
its how I was made to feel.
Things were bad,
and I almost failed.

But now I see things in a new light,
and I see all the right and wrong.
I deserve better then you,
and lies you tried to share.

You don't know what it means to lose everything,
to wonder if you are the only one who sees you.
Wondering if you were always meant to be alone,
in this dark world we call home.

But now I know who I am,
and what I am worth.
And I know all the hurt that I have suffered,
was never deserved.

People always wonder why I hate women,
people always wonder why I can't get away.
I want a lover to hold me close,
and make me feel like I mean something.

But now I no longer what that,
because I know I mean everything.
I am special in my own way,
and no one can take that from me.

I am done hearing I am not good enough,
done hearing I should just quit.
I am stronger then you,
and I am finally seeing that. [comments] => 1 [counter] => 285 [topic] => 43 [informant] => -Sinner- [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

Not Good Enough

Am I not good enough?
Do you not see the strength that I have found?
Why did you leave when I needed you most?
Why does everyone follow in your footsteps?

I sit here a child left alone,
expected to find strength I never knew.
Tears have fallen down my face so many times,
I could fill the oceans with sorrow.

So much anger bottled up inside,
from all the times people have turned there backs.
You wonder why I am this way,
why I do the things I do.

Can't you see I am not a monster,
that I deserve a life just like you.
I am tired of the staring,

Real nice peom. Reading this tugs me to the back of my mind where I've been throwing the memories and the feelings of which you speak. Know that you're not alone in what you've felt and or feel. I've felt that and been there, too, and still feel that and still am there but we can't let this overcome us and drag us down no matter how much it tears at usor how bad it is. I really wish you the best.
