Array ( [sid] => 113253 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Dear Mother, I Am Me, Not You [time] => 2006-01-16 06:23:53 [hometext] => [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 )

I can relate so much to this... My mother wishes things of me that she will never recieve. I am me and that is who i will ever be.. My mother wants me to be everything that i can not be..This was a well written poem.. Take care...

take care
