Living Up To Expectations Poem by Jessica LaDuron

i can't do it
they want me to be perfect,
like my older sister,
they want to be the proud parents
at the town cook-off
they want a daughter to be proud of,
they think that i'm a drone,
and they think i am stupid
they don't care about my feelings,
all tehy care about is their pride,
i am sick of theis life they have molded for me,
it is like i am pushed to do things,
when all i want to do
is be left alone
in my own window of solituse,
but my parents don't except that
they want me to be perfect,
but the truth is...
i am far from it
