So When Will I Be Good Enough?

So When Will I Be Good Enough?

Mommy, where are you?
I need you right now!
I’ve always tried to please you,
But could you please tell me how?

It seems the very best I do
Is never really enough
To meet your expectations of me,
So you treat me very rough.

Am I really so offensive
That you cannot treat me right?
Isn’t it cruel to say one day
That you just might…

…might what?
Am I not allowed to know?
Or is this just your way to say
You’ll keep me under toe?
ã19 June 1992, Daphne Yvonne Bradshaw.
