My Duty As Defined By YOU!
 
  You are an avenging angel
sent by God to weigh our deeds
especially to judge me as I did not
comply with your every need and did
not meet your criterion of humility –
I did not carry out your instructions, did
not oversee and supervise, cut down and
criticize to make my little girl live up to the
norm you set, your requirements, you are called
upon to cut me down to size, set me right, without
regard for my self-image which ought to be destroyed
I should feel like the worm I am in thy sight, I should be
damned to hell for failing once again
to do my duty – as defined
by YOU!
