Analysis of Never Good Enough



It is never good enough.
Being me.
Never quite right.
Each time I get it wrong,
I vow never again.
Always again.
No matter where the story starts,
Or where it stops,
The ending is the same.
Tell me two things
And I will try again.
Tell me who to be,
Tell me what to do.
If that can make you happy,
I would do it for you.
I want so much to see you happy.
It is just never good enough.
With me being me.
And you being you.
