Am i not good enough?
Is my heart too broken?
Do I cry too much?
Am I too outspoken?
Don’t I make you laugh?
Should I try it harder?
Why do you see right through me?
I live, I breathe, I let it rain on me, I sleep, I wake,
I try hard not to break,
I crave, I love, I’ve waited long enough,
I try as hard as I can.
I laugh, I feel, I make believe it’s real,
I fall, I freeze,
I pray down on my knees,
I hope, I stand, I take it like a man,
I try as hard as I can.
Am I not good enough?
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back

This looks more like brain storming ideas for a poem.

Frost nailed it.
this really needs work. First stanza too many questions. Second stanza has the germ a form-
I this I that
I da dee da dee daa
I this I that
I da dee da dee daa
cheers,
