I wrote this to my dad. Let me know what you think.


Being this girl:

Fifteen years old,
And I've yet to earn your praise.
Your words are sharp,
And hurt in so many ways.

I've yet to hear a compliment,
Or receive words of love,
And no matter how I try,
My best is not enough.

It's impossible to make you proud,
Or to gain your respect,
And I'm slowly giving up,
Well, what did you expect?

Dad I know that I'm not perfect,
Nor do I wish to be,
But being this girl is difficult,
When you disapprove of what you see.
