Good Enough

• Artist: animeprincess94
• Description: I wrote this about my dad and it's kinda like a letter I never sent. I hope you enjoy it, and if you're a parent I hope it helps you. My dad walk out on me when I was 2. Came back when I was 10, and I'm still not good enough for him.

Why do you look down on me?
Do I not add up,
Do I not meet your expectations?
What do you want from me?
Is my best not good enough for you?
I work hard,
I try to reach your standards,
Yet it seems that no matter what I do,
It is never good enough for you,
Almost as if I will never be good enough,
I will never be what you want me to be,
I will never be perfect in your eyes.
Is that why you look down on me?
Why you laugh when I fall, why you smile my pain?
Is that it? Am I right?
You think that if you ignore me and put me down long enough,
that I'll disappear?
I am nothing to you, I do not exsist to you,
I'm your only daughter, but thats not good enough.
I'll never be good enough.

Wow... I could relate to that in a way, but never in that context...

wow... sorry to hear that. I am lucky enough to have both parents and it has been that way since I was born.

my earliest memories of my father are visiting him in jail, but when i grew up he was ok, and now I'm all grown up and he seems to veiw me as a woman like he lives around, all the women he knows slepp around and act like they are to good and all want him. He told me once it was ok to cheat on someone if you never told them... I wish he would just stop.
