Love, Your Daughter
Bright blue eyes.
Love, your baby daughter.
Pink princess dress,
Playing with barbies.
Love, your precious daughter.
Long brown hair,
Spending all day outside,
Never ending stories to tell.
Love, your adventurous daughter.
Tight blue jeans,
Keeping earbuds in,
Always on that computer,
Much quieter nowadays.
Love, your drifting daughter.
Long black sleeves,
Crying when no one can hear,
Door always closed,
Never talking except when asked,
No one ever questioned it.
Love, your broken daughter.
All black clothes,
Driving herself where need be,
Gone from the house more,
Always happy to leave,
More laughter heard from her room,
Someone found who cared to notice.
Love, your gone daughter.

In this poem, I wanted to capture those changes as I grew up between the different stanzas of my poem. I also wanted to show how the relationship with parents can change as we get older, because its not like when we were little and they had to watch over us every minute. With the freedom of getting older also came some distance, and that distance can be taken the wrong way by us kids, until we eventually find something to replace it with.
