Array ( [sid] => 50155 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Waste of a Daughter [time] => 2004-06-02 18:38:52 [hometext] => One of the many poems I wrote to try to get my message clear to her... [bodytext] => I'm tired of being so imperfect
I am tired of being bound to your hateful circuit
I'm just wishing a great tide will come today
And I can peacefully wash away

I can feel myself slipping, I haven't the strength to hang around
I saw the end, and it's a long, cold, dark way down
I don't want to be alone with no one by my side
But I can't hang on to this life's ride

Not with you always putting me down
After all this my "friends" are nowhere to be found
So if you're trying to make me feel like nothing
You've succeeded, I feel not as a person, just a something

Something you can vent your frustrations on
No empathy for my heart that you have conned
Couldn't you find a better way?
You've left me hurting everyday

You call me degrading names and that's fine
But did you have to embed them in my mind?
You've ruined the person that I wanted to be
I will forever live with this pain you've inflicted on me

My wounds are bleeding
Your love is all I ever will be needing
But you've rejected me, I just lay my heart out for you to slaughter
I am sorry for being such a waste of a daughter [comments] => 4 [counter] => 164 [topic] => 6 [informant] => Colleen [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => AngryPoetry )

Definitely an angry poem. I hope you do find yourself and move on, leaving all that pain behind you

now that you made it clear in the last line that you wrote this AS a daughter instead of TO your daughter I am able to formulate some sort of cohesive reply. First off I would like to say that I really enjoyed this poem it was well written and you got across some very complex emotions. Now I would like to give you some advice and while this may seem kind of empty coming from a complete stranger I would just like to say having been there I can't help but provide some advice. The ONLY way you will be able to move on and get past the cruel words your mother (or father) have spoken is to forgive. While that may seem impossible at the moment my hope is that one day you will be able to forgive and move past this.

Wow . . . amazingly powerful, emotional, and poignant. "You've ruined the person that I wanted to be"--- whoa.

My thoughts and prayers are with you . . .may you overcome this. Bless.

I've been on the other side of this poem. My daughter and I stopped communicating because we couldn't connect-so I started writing her letters instead of yelling.
Honest, no parent is ever perfect. But we try, or at least most of us do. Some parents don't want to let their children 'go' so they make them feel worthless so that their children might believe they have no where to go, so they will stay home. They alienate their child's friends, nose into private mail, phone calls, blow out of proportion anything you've done wrong in your life-whatever it takes. It's a very destructive kind of love. Heal your hurt or you will carry that chain to your children too. Remember the pain the words cause and mind your words because you are learning your parent(s) ways and they will become part of your life so learning it as a bad example is wise.
This is what I came from, and it can destroy you. Don't let *anyone* mold you into someone you aren't-don't believe the words. See yourself reflected only in the eyes of the people who really love you and who show it the right way.

Love & Light,
Nightseer63
