Effort

Contributed by monkey on Wednesday, 28th January 2004 @ 09:14:21 PM in AEST
Topic: Lifepoems



hours of sweat
go into my
schoolwork

when Im all done
I stand back
and feel proud

but when I show
others
its never good enough

yanking
my pride away
and make me feel worthless

like I'll never
be able
to do anything right

I hope one day
they'll see
how hard I try

Hey Monkey, good point. Nothing is ever good enough for this society. Once you reach the good enough mark, it's not good enough anymore, have to go beyond that. Still try won't ya. That is the only way to succeed.

Sadly most don't see effort and talent. But sometimes someone else does and a simple compliment will make you shine and give you a little more self confidence. I hope you find a good friend soon who sees how hard you try. Kie

Monkey, I know how you feel. The only thing I can tell you is , that , no one will ever be fully satisfied with you. It is our nature to be greedy in our relasionships with other people. Too often we expect more of others, than of ourselves. Be happy with yourself. As long as you are that is what counts. The world will eventually understand, trust me.

Happy writings, loved it.
Sarah

Yeah that is it! Do not let others put you down! In fact, if you talk a good looks at those people who criticize you, the chance are they not doing anything neither!!! Just stick on what you doing and be happy with your effort, as long as you know its the best you've try, let them talk however they like, so what! screw them! (*shrug*) ^_^
