I don’t know, I’m sorry

I don’t know.

I’m sorry.

I don’t know if I can do this.

I’m sorry. 

I don’t know if I can do this for much longer.

I’m sorry.

I don’t know if I can do this for much longer and I’ve been getting tired.

I’m sorry.

I don’t know if I can do this for much longer and I’ve been getting tired of always doing my best.

I’m sorry.

I don’t know if I can do this for much longer and I’ve been getting tired of always doing my best and somehow still not being the best.

I’m sorry.

I don’t know if I can do this for much longer and I’ve been getting tired of always doing my best and somehow still not being the best at everything.

I’m sorry.

I don’t know if I can do this for much longer and I’ve been getting tired of always doing my best and somehow still not being the best at everything and I know that’s impossible.

I’m sorry.

I’m old enough to know I’m enough.

I’m sorry.

I’m old enough to know I’m enough but I don’t believe that yet.

I’m sorry, I’m trying.

    Girlhood is texting your crush because it's late at night and you don't know any better. 

    Girlhood is staring way too hard at the prettiest girl in class.
