[bodytext] => I wish I could be perfect Like you want me to be Believe me if I could I would Be everything you think you see in me I really do try my hardest To be everything you require I really do want to make you proud It’s one of my greatest desires When you were my age, maybe you didn’t Make some of the mistakes I do. With flying colors and a smile on your face You always skimmed right through. And I’m sorry I’m not as popular as you were I’m sorry I mess up sometimes I’m really sorry that I can’t live up to you I’m sorry that I hurt inside. I’m sorry I’m not the perfect daughter I’m sorry I ever messed up your life I really want to be something, like you were The perfect role model, perfect genius and Someday a perfect wife. But I wonder, if when I’m older And these childhood years are in the past If you will see past my mistakes And accept me as your daughter at last. I really want to know if, ten years from now You’ll still hate me for my goof ups I wonder if you’ll still be oblivious To every single triumph. And I wonder if you’ll ever know All the pain that you’ve caused me The tears I’ve cried, the dreams I’ve feared And all our stories carved on my body I don’t know if I have enough in me To be all you demand It would be so much easier if instead of force You’d lead me hand in hand. But I can’t change the way you look at things I can’t rid you of your disgust in me. The words you say still burn and sting So much longer after you’ve said them to me They may even hurt a little more Than the new bruises ‘round my face The scars and bruises will fade But the scars on my heart take longer to go away. If you knew how much I long to be In your good graces for just one day If you knew how far I would go To gain your pride, your “well done” Your faith. You know I can never be as good as you are You count on it day by day I know you enjoy putting me down Telling me how I screw up in every way. Well I’m sorry you had me as a daughter I guess you should have given me away And though every day I try harder “I’m proud of you” is something you Just won’t allow yourself to say.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
