I wish.

I wonder what I have to do to make you proud...

Is it possible for me to balance out my own health and your happiness?

Do the pictures of other parents with their smiling children make you jealous?

Does seeing their successes remind you of where I fail and fall short?

"I wish you were active again.."
"I wish you still loved math."
"I remember when you loved going out."

I wish you would see past your own ideals of a perfect child.

Do you see me as a person or a mini version of yourself?

Do you see where you fell short in your own life and push me to do better for my own good or to soothe that ache in your own chest?

I wish you would see me as a person.

I wish I could love myself despite your hate.
