Hindsight

I wasn't worth you rcheap white trash.
I wasn't good enough for your holiness.
I wasn't strong enough for your stature.
I wasn't pretty enough for you rmodel perfect taste.

I couldn't sing well enough for your ears.
I couldn't write enough for your mind.
I couldn't feel exactly as you prefer.
I couldn't cope with my failure.

I wouldn't reach high enough to touch you.
I wouldn't cry enough to ease your pain.
I wouldn't try hard enough to suit you.
So I shouldn't complain.
