Alexis Culley Poet Rhyme

To My Parents

To My Parents:

I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I'm not the daughter you wanted.

I don't get straight a's,
but i try my best.
I don't clean my room,
in my only time to rest.
I don't love who I should
but I have a big heart.

I do every thing I can,
so i wont disappoint you,
but when I saw you only see the worst,
it was right then that I knew.

Even if I got straight A's,
it wouldn't make you proud.
Even if I cleaned my room,
You'd still lose me in a crowd.
And even if I loved a boy,
It still wouldn't be allowed.

I guess you'll never be happy,
with what your little girl is,
i wish you see me for who i was,
I wish it wasn't like this.

Jan Allison August 1, 2023 at 9:24 AM I can relate BIG time Alexis, I was always second best no matter what I did in life, the first time I recall my mum saying she was proud of me was when i stood on stage in 2017 and recited 3 of my poems in front of an audience of 600. Since then she often said she was proud of me with my poetry. All I can say Alexis is be proud of who you are and what you achieve in life and dont let the negative vibes spoil you. Hugs Jan xx
