Award Winning Poem

Not Good Enough

I sit here in this emotionally empty room,
My heart is filled with sadness and gloom.
The barrel’s at my head and I am ready to go,
Hoping it is painless when the bullet takes it’s blow.
I have tried my best to do what’s right,
But I am no longer able to hold on tight.
I have finally given up after letting you down,
You always expected so much from me in this small country town.
Your expectations were just too high,
“Please forgive me daddy” I whispered with a sigh.
I wish you didn’t hate me or feel so ashamed,
I am just a child and not fully to blame.
I always thought I was daddy’s little girl,
With my blonde hair and bouncy curls.
I do not want to hurt you anymore or make you cry,
I love you daddy and goodbye.
