My Best

by

Sherene Delgado

I had always done my best for you
Even when you made me cry
Never would I show such a weakness in front of you though
I could not understood why everything I did was wrong
Why my love wasn't a good enough reason for you to love me back
When I was young... you were the world to me
Even when you put me down
Now that I’m older I see thing clearer

You don't look as though you care about what I went through
What you put me through
You’ve move forward in your life
I can't

Memories of the past is all I think of
Memories of the nights I cried myself to sleep
The memory of defeat after realizing that once again I failed in your eyes
I remember that day well
That was the day I finally realized that my best would never be good enough for you
You never understood your power over me
Or maybe you did
At times I thought you wanted to break my spirit
You never could though
I wonder if that was what angered you so much?
That I was stronger then you thought
That I would never give up no matter how much you put me down
All I ever wanted was for you to say you were proud of me
To hear you say you loved me
But you never did

Even now I catch myself doing things to please you
In hopes to just one day hear those words I’ve waited for all my life
I had hope to one day make you proud of me
But I know I won't
I know now that my best isn't enough for you
It never will be enough for you
Now all I can hope for now is that you will at least accept me for who I am
For the person you've made me

NEXT?
Why don't you look at Dilemma
