THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND

by Annika - Scorpio

I wonder why I constantly strive to make them happy.
They don't understand how the times have changed
Thinking they know what's best for me & I cannot tell them no.
Your dreams are unrealistic, they'd say, follow our dreams instead.
Is it wrong to still wish for my fading dream to come true?
I begin to like myself less&less & start to notice my imperfections more& more
And I realize this is not the life I was meant to live.

Reason for writing:

    Hi! This poem is about my parents & my relationship. I'm about to go off to college in 2 monthes & I feel as if they have not let me do or choose anything for myself including my college major. I'm afraid I'll regret my major choice which will not be good at all. Please send me comments/suggestions. Thanks sweetdaisy2@yahoo.com
