[bodytext] => Dear mother Look at me now Do you really think I've changed Maybe I did But not the way you wanted You want me to be the innocent girl You want me to fit into this world You want me to be like them I want you to understand I'm not the little girl I was Maybe I'm still young enough To make me believe a different truth But that's not something you're supposed to do Dear mother Look at me now The changes I made in my life Open your eyes Stop telling yourslef all those lies Look at world like I do for a while That's the reason why I rarely smile It's not like you expect it to be Your time was different, please believe Your decission changed who I am Who I want to become But I won't turn into a brainless puppet Like everyone in this town Dear mother Look at me now Can you even hear me scream I ask for understanding Not for love or all the things they say I need Is the real me invisible to you Do you really think That when I am some older I would prefectly fit in I want to live this life Do everything before I die But what you decide Makes me waste my time [comments] => 2 [counter] => 534 [topic] => 48 [informant] => LifeFadingAway [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 4 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )
