Never Good Enough

You say that I'm worthless

You say that I'm lazy

changing your opinion is hopeless

although you never gave me a chance

a chance to see nor live my life

the way it truly is, not as it appears

I'll be an awfully pathetic wife

and I'm an even worse mother

that's how it is in your eyes

nothing I do is ever good enough

You say that I don't work

You say that I do nothing at all

and yet I'm the one who fixes quirks,

raises two daughters, all the while

keeping your house as clean as possible

I'm a mother, a fiance, and also a maid

but to make you happy is impossible

so I just give up on trying to any more

that's how it is in my eyes

nothing I do will ever be good enough.
