sometimes i wish too

sometimes i wish too

sometimes i wish you would not blame me for stuff i didn't do,

and recognize what i did for you

sometimes i wish you would thank me,

instead of yell at me

sometimes i wish you would say "i love you",

rather than "why did you do that?"

sometimes i wish i was appreciated,

for all the work i do

sometimes i wish i was rewarded,

for what i deserve

sometimes i wish good grades in advanced classes,

weren't expected

sometimes i wish expectations weren't so high,

so you would be proud of me.

when i do my homework,

for six hours,

right after school,

on a friday night,

with a computer right beside me,

the power of integrity

makes me feel so proud of myself...

but my heart shatters when you barge into my room yelling,

the nonsense i dont understand,

it just breaks my heart...and my spirit...

thanks for ruining my night.

mom.
