Why? Poem by Katrina Lusk

I find someone
who makes me happy.
Then you say
you're disappointed in me.
Why can't you just see
that he really does love me?
Why do you constantly put me down
make me feel I've fallen to the ground?
Why can't you just be proud
of who your little girl
has grown up to be?
For you it's never enough
which is why I had to learn to be tough.
I know this life is rough
but I will never give up hoping.
That one day you'll see what I see
and finally be proud of me.
