Daughter Not

You speak lies so fluently

No stutter in your voice

Lies evenly spoken from your lips

Does it bother you?

That you lie to your own daughter?

Does it bother you?

That with every lie you break me down?

With every lie my heart breaks

A mother shouldn't lie with every sentence

No one's perfect

So why do I have to be

You tell me to change

You don't like how I am

I'm not your genius daughter

I'm not the daughter who loves to dress up

I don't wear skirts or dresses

I don't wear heels

I don't wear designer brands

Am I not the daughter you wanted?
Was I your practice child

Did I turn out wrong so you cut me out 

Am I no longer in the family portrait

She fills the void that I couldn't

That's fine with me

No really it is

Don't worry I'm not your daughter

This is really nice! I am the complete opposite, lol. I can agree though! Thanks for this piece!

I love it, I feel a great emotion yet a lack of emotion. Kind of hard to put in word! Great poem!
