Me

You want me to be,
a straight A student,
but i'm not.
You want me to,
always do everything right,
and nothing wrong,
but I don't.
You want me to be,
one of thoes perfect daughters,
but i'm not.
I never will be.
Why can't you just accept me,
for who I am?

Because that would make sense!!! I feel your pain. My family and friends have always had a hard time with that whole don't-put-expectations-on-me-and-just-let-me-be-myself thing. Hang in there. Sooner or later they'll see.

The only thing that I fear is to die quietly.

Don't our parent just want us to be the best at everything?
Just look at it this way, that's their job as parents
Better than not even giving us any attention
Hope things do go well for you
thanks for sharing

là où est mon amour?
donde está mi amour?
wo ist meine Liebe?

this...I totally understand what you're saying, but look at it from their angle. they have a daughter whom they love and want the best for. they pressure you hoping you'll become better than you already are.

If someone said, "Write a sentence about your life," I'd write "I want to go outside and play."

While the poem could use some work, I can see your feeling's and emotion in it, which is good. I have to agree with everyone, it's likely you're parents just want the best for you... they're moved by love for you. But that doesn't make it any easier. I hope they ease up, and accept. Good luck, and email if you need to.

This always seems to be the case. When will parents learn that we have lives that arent all about them? I love the way you worded this.
