Sideline's
Sidelines. I've always wondered as I gotten older why we set on the sideline While some are better than others Loved more.Memories they have to last a lifetime, never showing my true feelings as life countinues.Here comes the sadness of life's time coming to a end. Im lost as its tearing apart inside wondering why what happened why not me...

My Lines Are Not Good Enough
*My Lines Are Not Good Enough* Rent free in my heart's deep core The beautiful one that my heart beats for She shares a glance but I always want more Fluffy lips like whipped cream Over me like a gentle stream So much afforded me in a dream She appeared like an holy grail Will my ship ever set sail? But shy, I'm a...

Premium Member Not good enough
A strange contraction arises within, the cause of which to us remains unknown but our vibrant heart, fully cleansed from sin, urges us to reclaim soul’s light we own. Be this as it may, it signals we sway, no doubt seeking a this or that outcome, which if denied makes blue skies appear grey, darkening our aura, once so winsome. Stuporous attention is...

Not Good Enough
So keen to get it right Desperate to stop the cycle I gave you love, trust and freedom Used to turn away from the light The lies never showed on your face My heart longing to believe you Whatever you do don’t say it out loud Now bags are packed for a brand new place Why didn’t I give you more of my...

Am I Not Good Enough
Am I not good enough? Am I not pretty enough? See these are all things girls like me think about. We are not invisible. We have thoughts. And some of us need to have power. And some of us have things to say. We are strong and some of us can't speak for ourselves. Am...

Suicide
Handful of pills, that’s how some of us deals. Tub full of water, cuts deep to the wrist why even bother. Drink until you can’t think, bang your head on the bathroom sink. Hang yourself with your own belt, pain no one knew you felt. A bullet to my head, somedays I wish I was...

Not Good Enough
They say that I’m not good enough That I don’t qualify. They have their bluster and their bluff. I dare to question why. It is my queries they can’t stand They cannot answer me. They blindly walk behind a man They have been deceived, you...

Not Good Enough
Never good enough. Life's so rough. Waste away in vain. Wallow in the pain One last breath. Before my death. Still it's you upon my mind. When I think I'm doing fine. You're my crack. Cut me slack. I'm stuck. In a rut. You're always there. You're everywhere. I see you in the sun. I see you in children having fun. I smell you in the air. I feel you when...

I'M Not Good Enough
I've tried to be the person You think I should be. But we both know, I'll never be good enough. I wish, For just once, To make you proud. I cant change the past, I cant make things right. I wonder if you know, How I hate myself. I'm not perfect. And I'm sorry that what I do, Isn't good enough for you. Every time you turn away, I...

I Believe I'M Not Good Enough
I didn’t think I would feel this way. All of my original feelings are still here. They will always be here. Why did you tell me to stay? How can I forget? I believe I’m not good enough....

Young Man, That Is Not Good Enough
Young man, that is not good enough, just not good enough; Seek the Lord; fulfill purpose, don’t just huff and puff. You looking all big and bad; but, inside you are very sad; Jesus’ joy will make you strong and extremely glad. No more, no more playing: dan-man, bad man, macho-man; Christ can see through you; you hurting, young man....

Not Good Enough To Die Young
They say the good die young And so I keep getting older Keep testing fate Keep winning So I keep getting bolder My fire keeps burning colder I like to point at the lightning And then laugh at the thunder I figure I got 6 years And 6 months before I'm 6 feet under There's no kind of food That can feed this hunger I chewed a...
