I Am Poem by brittney abrams

I Am

Rating: 4.5


PLEASE INPUT YOUR OPINIONS AFTER READING, I WILL GLADLY DO THE SAME =)

I am the type of person who dreams into the abyss.
I wonder if life can get better than this.
I hear people saying how they despise their life,
I see unhappy people, its not a pleasant sight.
I want people to enjoy life and express their happiness…
I am the type of person who dreams into the abyss.

I pretend everything is swell, though life is pretty tough,
I feel how ever hard I try, it never seem to be enough.
I touch my father’s heart, but not in a pleasant way.
I worry that he worries, I’m not getting through my days.
I cry when I reminisce.. all the good times he has missed.
I am the type of person who dreams into the abyss.

I understand he wants the best for me, and I tell him I will try.
I say that every year, but it always ends up a lie.
I dream of the perfect life that proves my father wrong,
I try so hard to please him, but I’ve tried for way too long.
I hope that one day my dreams come true, not only mine but also his.
I am the type of person who dreams into the abyss….

Oh my god..... Thats soooooo how I feel! I tell my dad every time I skip school that I wont do it again, but I still do it.(not on a regular basis, just once like a couple months.) I think I do it.... because I do good.... as best as I can and when I dont get appreciation I just give up. I feel that I'm trying soooo hard and when I want achive something and I do..... I feel like why do we do anything..... but to please others? My mother is the one who is 'the lets-you-go-by-without-much-trouble' type. This poem reminds me of it... Thanks. Keep writing.
