Never Enough

Trembling in fear

She looks into my eyes

Pleading in vain

I see through her disguise

 

But I cannot help her

I stay silent once more

I’m ashamed but do nothing

Life goes on as before

 

I turn my back on this child

Though I know she needs me

I try to ignore it

Though it’s so plain to see

 

But if something should happen

I know that I’ll regret

Turning aside like the others

And not doing my best

 

Life is so precious

Then why is it so tough?

No matter what I do

It’s never enough

Love this! Your last stanza was perfect and so, so, so true! This piece is sad but your emotion in this poem is very clear. Once again...I love the ending. This whole piece has such a good flow and the rhyme is really good. Great poem! :)
