Sleepless nights.

Desperation.

Burning need to be good enough.

Harsh words with a jovial tone.

"Why can't you be better?"

Each word a knife to the heart,

Cutting deep,

Slicing arteries.

Unrepairable.

Desperation turns to indifference.

"Why should I change?"

Frustration.

Confusion.

All other things forgotten,

Except being good enough.
