Can't See Me Trying

Sorry for wasting my time

Trying to be

Perfect for you.

Obviously,

That's not enough for you.

You say I should try harder

When I'm already trying my hardest already.

It's as if

You can't believe I can do it.

Nothing ever compares to Her.

I wish to be Her.

Then I wouldn't be under

All of this pressure to be better

Than I am now.

I honestly don't care.

Praise Her all you want

Because I will never be good enough

To impress you.

Just take her and be happy

Because you know

I am a disgrace

And I am done trying to be who you want.

i want to deny this poem so much, i want to hate it, but i love it. I know how it feels. I know how it feels to be the second option, even though you do your best for him to like you, it's always impossible. Nice write, it shows that it's heart-felt.
