Daughter
It seems like my purpose in life is always to fall.
It seems like I always hit a brick wall.
Why is it that the dark never ends?
Why am I the one that always bends?

I try so hard for your love,
But all I get is a shove.
It seems like all I do is try,
But I end up in my room and cry.

The tears burn down my face,
And I look for your warm embrace.
But I am here all alone,
It feels like no light has ever shone.

Because you are not there,
You are unaware.
That I cannot find the way.
It's like I'm blind and there is no day.

Only night, Still I fight.
For you to see,
that I will never be,
the daughter you dream instead of me.

The light seems so far away,
the words seem so hard to say.
I don't know where to start.
Maybe I love you with all my heart.

There is just too much to say sorry about,
Maybe I should start with all the times I shout.
Or maybe the times I've made you sad,
I never meant to be bad.

I am sorry for being in the way,
I wish that I was clay.
Then I could mold,
into something you would hold.

I want you to see how hard I try,
but it seems like all I do is make you cry.
I'm sorry I ruin plans,
but I want you to understand.

And except me.
Because I could never be,
the daughter you wished for,
the daughter you could love more.

I'm sorry for the way I act,
but I want you to know a fact.
That I try for you to see,
that I am trying to be,
the daughter you dream instead of me.


This poem started out to be bout my parents and home life which it still is but now it has come to have another meaning to me. I try but never seem to be what people what so i try harder but it doesn't ever seem to work.
