Perfect Child
I am suffocating
Too many words
Too many voices
It all resonates inside my head
The echoes of conflicting advice
Verbal navigation in opposite directions
I can not shut them out
Though it is not in my nature to object
I am choking on these good intentions
Drowning in this sea of supposed guidance
My life is not theirs to live
I will claim my mistakes as my own
Still they pull in so many directions
I am ripping apart at the seams
My voice longs to speak
Though it has never been heard
They do not see me for what I am
And I am more than what they perceive
I do not need to honor their grudges
My choices will not be made for me
I am not a creature to be molded
I know my mind
I know my heart
Cherishing the flame that empowers me
Should it die under their tender care
Freedom must be found
This is the golden solitude that I crave
Yet through it all I am bound
With only a whisper of reasoning reminding me
They will see that I am not the perfect child
A.N.- I know that my parents and my friends mean well when they tell me how I should do things and who I should it with but there comes a time whan all their voices meld into this monotony of noise that makes me want to scream. I am not them. I am me.

Perfect Child (poem)
Do not measure life by the number of breaths you take but rather by the moments that take your breath away.

THAT I can relate to. Very poignant and strong. I couldn't have done any better (as if I could do half as well)!
Great job as always, Lara!

This is kind of like a problem that another friend of mine is having, and I tell her, over and over again, ...
TO TELL THEM OFF!!! even if it means that it hurts their feelings...
Lara,...don't let anyone push you around.
Be free.

Horse: Feed me now, and I will not shit in your window.
