This is just a series of poems that I write when I'm bored. Some are long, and some are short. Enjoy :)

Expectations

I'm sorry that I'm not the "perfect daughter",

and I'm sorry that I don't meet up to your expectations.

but can't you see? This life is different now..

It gets harder and harder with each passing day, and there is nothing that you can say to stop it.

I put on that fake smile, and you think I'm fine...but I wish you could see that I'm not fine; no not at all.

I'm sorry I don't make the best grades or make the best decisions,

and I wish you wouldn't put me down so goddamn much.

Bet you didn't expect me to say that either, did you?
