Their Barbie Doll!!

Mama used to say I was too big for my boots.

Daddy used to say I was too far from my roots.

Being a little different simply wasn't there way.

Put down by words by my parents everyday.

 

Mama used to hate me for being who I am.

Daddy used to hurt me for being as quiet as a lamb.

I kept up in my room not wanting to be like them.

Proper and appropriate a Barbie yet again!

 

I want to keep a journal but mama reads that.

Want to have a mobile but daddy owns that!

No where I go can I be truly alone.

Only on my laptop I'm in a world of my own!

 

One day I'll be free of them but until then.

Happy on the world on here ,back to reality again!!

It's a very good poem, and it's from the heart

This is a lovely poem! I would suggest that you change the font colour to make it easier on the eyes, otherwise well done. This is a really honest piece of writing...

The first two lines did it for me, from there, everything just got more sad and sad. a great expressive poem though. I think your words truly come from your heart.

This is so sad. But I like how evern though things seem to be bad there is hope in this poem. "One day I'll be free" The title is very catchy. Great poem! Very well writen and I too like the referances to mama and daddy. :)

I can feel your pain on this since it relates to something i identify with. You expressed it very well. I can get a realistic picture of exactly what is going on in the poem. I like it

^^ there is meant to be 'their'
:]
Anywho,
I saw the title, and was like,
'this could be interesting.'
And it was.
I liked the whole Mama and Daddy references.
And the rhyme scheme was really good.
:]Nicely done.
