always

running dry

on conversation

until it is time

to rip my heart to shreds

always pointing

out my broken shell

so it cracks even more

even when I try every

day to be better

to bring more

to the table

but I know

now

all I do

will never be enough

for you

I need to stop

getting my hopes

up thinking

I can be somebody

but you always

remind me

I am no better

than the next

don't know

why it hurts

like hell

but I tried

I keep trying

I fail

I fail

I fail

I fail
