Not good enough

Not good enough

A Poem by sarah

Why is it different for her?
Why can she shout her love for you
And have everyones approval?

Why can she proclaim her feelings
Wherever she wants
And get a pat on the shoulder?

Why can she tell you she loves you
And you hold her
And say it in return?

Why do they approve of her?
And not me?

I gave you everything of me
I did everything I could
I tried to do things right

You wanted to be quiet about the two of us
You wanted the secrets
You never proclaimed your affections for me

And in the end
You pushed me aside
And walked away without looking over your shoulder
Just once...

I sit on the side
Close to moving on
My wounds almost healed

But then I see you
Screaming your love for her
Telling the world

Why didn't you do that with me?
Why is she allowed to love you in the open
Without judgment?

Why?
Why wasn't I good enough?
Good enough for you
Good enough for any of them?

WHY?!?!?!

Why.........?

I cried while I wrote this, it may not be my best but you can sure say a lot of emotion went into this. My ex's new girlfriend is posting everywhere how much she likes him how wonderful he is and he is saying how cute and awsome she is but when we were together we weren't even allowed to have the same facebook picture of him and me sitting together.

I may say this alot of heart-wrenching poems such as this one but GUYS can be such IDIOTIC, DISILLUSIONED B******S sometimes.
They're unable to see the best things that ever happened to them and end up throwing them away. It's like trading Chocolate milk for Soy milk. No offense to those who prefer Soy milk.
Yes I know that not all guys are like this, but most of them are, and if you do meet a good one, he's either gay or taken.
But there's hope my friend, there always is. Make new friends, the love of your life might be the shy kid in your Science class.
And, speaking from experience, son't spend all your time thinking about him. Go out with friends, enjoy some ice-cream. Then one day, whenever that day may be, sit and reminisce. Think about all the good times. Get the closure you need. And you'll be able to move on, if you haven't already.
And I forgot to add this because of my advice and slight rant, this poem was one of the most amazing pieces of literature I have ever read. And that is definitely saying something.

great work here, those feelings of real sadness and almost betrayal really bring themselves out in this one, and that makes this poem very powerful indeed. i think you've done really well on this, and i can't help feeling very sorry when i read this. good job!

We learn good and bad lessons. Better to leave greedy people who are heartless behind and find real friends. A powerful and sad story in your poem. In the end we will know real friends from liars. A excellent poem.

Alot of anger and frustration here.
Life can seem cruel at times, however, I believe that things happen for a reason. You will heel and find a wonderful partner, just give it time.

I could feel your pain, but hon sounds like your better off without him! I know that sounds harsh when your hurting, but if your feeling didn't mean beans to him and hes already moved on, then he is not worth crying over! Well written poem! You just wait you'll find that special someone that is meant just for you! He is the one missing out!

Who know, maybe your relationship contributed to his progression in opening up with his new girlfriend. You might be apart of the change in him. The affects of love go both ways. Wonderful poem. I liked it!

Turn it around, he was never good enough for a heart like yours, he will one day reap the heartache he has caused, love is a two edged sword, it often hurts, but you will find a new and better love, with someone who will shout his love for you from mountain tops, and then and only then will you see this man for the shallow person he really is, and then you will perhaps feel sorry for the girl he is now with.
