Crashing My Dream

My dream is to be a writer, But you want me to be a doctor. Before, I had wanted to be a singer, But as always you shushed me with one finger. So I started to hide my real personalities My real needs of facilities. Then you found out, And blocked me from the out side world. Made me look like a lout By taking my phone, laptop, I Pad And all things that helped me and inspired me. You said it is protection, But I can't see how, Taking somebody's dream Can be positive to them. You said I lied to you, While in reality, you blocked me from what I really want. How did you expect me to give up on my dream, That had been with me for years? I got mad, And I wanted to run away from the house. I thought that there would be somebody Anywhere that will help me, but then I thought about it, If my own mother is against me How would somebody else be with me?

Salma, your reply to my comment, makes me wonder if my kids feel like this. I am sure they do. Like you said, hear them out first. I will keep that in mind. Love LINDA
