Wrong In Your Eyes Poem by Allysyn Bryant

Every single day of this New Year
It seems I’ve done something wrong in your eyes.
Every time you have spoken to me
You’ve yelled.
I wonder if you have even noticed anymore.
Everything that I’ve done is wrong in your eyes.
Tell me, what is it that you want from me?
No one is perfect I know this…
Yet you seem mad because I’m not
Missed a dirty dish,
You’re mad at me for the rest of the night.
Woke up late for school,
You’re yelling on the way there.
I’m up too late doing homework,
You’re complaining to mom,
Who then comes to me yelling.
Four ‘B’s, two ‘A’s, not good enough for you,
And I’m at a lost.
Everything that’s I’ve done is wrong in your eyes.
I don’t know what to do,
Or how to make it up to you.
Please tell me now
How do I make myself good enough for you?
