We are different
October 10, 2014
You want me to be like you.
Toact and do as you do.
But we are different you and me.
We may be related by the blood in our veins, but are we related by heart?
I try to do the right things, but thru your eyes everything I do is wrong.
Why can't you see that I try!
I try to be the perfect daughter that you want me to be.
But I just don't live up to your standards.
I try to be friends, and I try to control my temper, but it's never enough.
Because we fight and we both get upset.
So what can I do, to make you see that I am not the perfect daughter that you want me to be.
