Nothing about me is ever good enough for you
not the cold blood running down my raw wrist
or the warm tears painfully coursing down my cheeks
not the burned in gashes of my contorted arm
or the mangled and forgotten scars along my skin
Nothing I ever do is good enough for you
not the lonely nights i cry myself stiff
or those scandalous nights I enjoyed too much
not the alcohol I consumed to forget my worthless self
or the needles that danced along my innocent flesh
Nothing I ever say is ever good enough for you
not those gorgeous lies that tinkled down my lips
or the perfect excuses I committed so prestigiously
not the fake moans I hand to your humility
or the impervious three words i repeat indulgently
Nothing I ever hear is good enough for you
not the juicy gossip that courses into my ears
or the vicious rumors I helped along their groove
not the white lies I dared to enhance
or the Lyrics that clumsily tripped out of your mouth
Nothing I ever have is good enough for you
not the enchanted green leaves I hold dear
or the shiny knives that give me amusing reassurance
not the cigarettes that bring peace to my complex confusion
or the flickering light that caused my pyro-intentions

This kind of intertwines all of your options... I dont know where this came from but the girl writing it, did all these bad things like smoke pot, burn herself, cut herself, lie, drink, etc. Shes telling the one she loved all of this like he should be proud of her, and when hes like OMG she says shes not good enough for him! Its kind of a sick love story mixed with alot of unaccepted hate... I know the format is a little exausting so i thank all of those that read it!

I like the way you wrote this. The style and format was good and consistent and kept the flow well. It's quite emo... lol. But that's ok. There just seemed to be a big focus on cutting and it seemed there could be more things like you mentioned drinking and smoking and stuff. But maybe the blood was the biggest part of the struggle. W/e. I liked it. Thanks for entering

this is hard to read. Very upsetting and errily enough, I relate. I know someone very much like this. It's so sad and it makes me angry too because she never gets it.
