[bodytext] => I don't know why he can't accept me,
Me, just the way that I am, I'll never be the son he wanted, Or a doctor like he planned. I'll never cure diseases Other than those of the heart, And I'll never win a Nobel Prize For just doing my part. I'll never win a Grammy or an Oscar And I'll never be a star, And I won't look down my nose at people Who haven't gotten very far. I'll always bear the scars of life, And I think I bear them well, But as much as he expects of me I really couldn't tell. I am not perfect And to tell you the truth, I never said I was, But when asked why he pushes me so, He answers, "Just because." He won't accept that it's my life, My world that I'm living in, And that to do things my way Isn't a sin. He's a hypocrite, yelling and screaming, Forcing his beliefs on me, But, you know what, I'd like to think that I Was born in THIS half of 20th Century. I refuse to wait and grovel, Or do everything he asks, Because he's never there when I need him, How does he know what I lack?

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. ©
