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
