Never Enough

I mastered my ABCs

Paid attention to the birds and bees

Prayed to your god down on my knees

But it wasn’t enough 

I only got straight A’s and B’s

Made sure I said thank you and please 

Tried to put your mind at ease

But it wasn’t enough 

And when I laughed, it was much too extreme

And when I cried, I was a drama queen 

A martyr you’d call me

What was it about me that made you so cold?

Did my youth remind you of growing old?

Or did I just not fit the mold?

Was I just not enough?

Oh how I loved you with all my heart 

As any little girl would

The sun rose and set with you

But when I look back in my mind’s eye

When I recall my childhood 

It now seems so painfully true

I just wasn’t good enough
