Suffocated being a good girl!, by bex103 Subscribe to rss feed for bex103

Im the good girl
I never do anything wrong
My grades are of average
and beyond
I havent been pissed
I havent smoked weed
I havent had sex
I havent badly mixed

People see me as daddys girl
People see me as a geek
People see me as a misfit
People see me as a freak
My parents never worry
Not like they do about my brother
Thier always satisfied with me
But im not satisfied with them

Why can't they see?
That i hate this 
Im  not alright 
Not inside
I hide behind a wall
so questions wont be raised 
Im scared to talk to them
To disappoint them

im screaming inside 
crying out for some attention
for something other than praise
other than ignorance
i try and rebel
try to cut the strings loose
but they know its an act 
That im being over dramatic

its getting too much
i need to break free for good
so now im gonna act 
real outta place
stay out all night 
be seen making out 
with bad boys, daddy dont like
and see what their reaction is then

Im not a little girl
With pigtails and clarks sandles
Im 15 years old
Time to lose the invislbe cord
I'll always be your first born
But i got to experience life
And have you worry about me
the way you do about your son.

I like this poem. It shows clear frustration. I've been there before so i know exactly how you feel. You don't have to go overboard with being out of character to make your parents see the point. Just do something that you want to do that you don't normally do and you'll find that the transition can be accepted by your parents....with some getting used to.

I love your poem and yea it can be hard being seen as perfect it seems to me that my parents ignore me b/c they think they have nothing to worry about but dont do anything rash u'll regret it trust me. i wish i knew before.
