Dear Mom

Dear Mom,
are you proud of me?
do you see all these things i do?
do you see the person i try to hard to be?

How i work so hard
just to be good
how i want to make it
just to show you i could

Do you see how i love you?
but i don't feel good enough
how yelling at me doesn't help..
how you need to show me more love?

I can't be perfect
and I won't be like you
but trying my hardest
that's something i'll do

I'm sorry that i lie
and I'm sorry you don't know
but I hope someday you learn to see
how your daughter feels so low

I'll never be good enough
not for anyone, not for you
but I'll keep my head up like you say
please know...I love you, I do.

Love,

Gabrielle Marie
