Sparrow

too fat

too skinny

eating too much

eating too little

not good enough

too self confident

around and around it goes

my mind can't stop 

won't stop

if I tell myself this 

I tried to be better

But you made me feel worse.

I tried to improve

But you held me back.

I tried to climb up

But you tore me down.

I tried to be enough for you

But this could never be.
