My mom constantly posts about her "daughter"
How she is so perfect
And I quote:
My daughter wants to be a veterinarian
My daughter wants to go to this school
My daughters favorite color is pink
My daughter loves to ride horses
My daughter works so hard
But at home
Oh at home she screams
You are so lazy
You can't do anything right
Why were you the disappointing one? You were the only one planned
My father, he thinks I'm worthless
He wishes I was born his son
Even though he has a son
At the farm he yells
Why do you like those flowers so much?
Quit working with those worthless horses
Don't you dare hide in the chicken coop again
Stop going on those dumb trail rides
My mind screams at me
The only time its quiet is when I ride or sing
I want to scream
Stop calling me your daughter
Stop wishing for another son
I am who I am
I am the only one
Crying these useless tears happens less
I find myself more blank in the face
People ask why I'm so expressionless
I don't bother to tell them why
I just walk away
At night I lay down and try to cry
But the tears never come
Why does my mom hate me?
The daughter she asked for and wanted?
Why does my father treat me
Like a useless son, a disappointment
Why do I hate myself so much
That I change everything about myself
Just to let go of it?

Slam Poetry
PoesiaThis just needs it's own book away from Quiet Ideas, so I am putting all my slam poetry in here. Plan to update Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Sorry if no new poems come out, just means I didn't get a chance to write down a new slam.
