Bianca Free - Incompetence

What is it you want from me,
what have I to boast?
Forgive me if I don't have
what it is you want the most.
There's not much I can do
when expectations rise too high,
all that I can ever do
is present my finest try.
Some people don't acknowledge that
they shove my efforts away,
and scream 'you are nothing! '
as if those words do not weigh
so heavily upon me,
but God, you know they do.
I think about them in my bed,
they cling to me like glue.
I never ever ever forget
though I pretend that I've moved on.
Those words did truly thwart me
and my confidence has gone.
I wish that everyone could just accept
that I am not that strong.
I can only dance to one beat,
and only sing to one song.
