Be who you are and say what you feel because those that mind don't matter, and those that matter don't mind. -dr. seuss


No matter what I do
Its not enough for you
No matter how hard I try
You still make me want to cry
You tell me to succed
Then cut me down when I succed
I could fly
But it wouldn’t be enough for you
No, its never enough for you

I accomplish things
But you’re so blind, you don’t see
I make people listen
But you’re so dissapointed, you can’t hear
You’re too busy
Making lists of things I should
Would, could, do
That you don’t see
What I’m doing now
Its not enough for you
No, its never enough for you

I try so hard
So that you’ll notice
So you’ll care
Maybe see that I’m there
No matter what I do
Its not enough for you.
