It's like pouring salt in an open wound,
it's like an arrow through the heart,
it's like being rejected by those you trust.
It's being told I'm not good enough for you.

It's like being used by someone you loved,
it's like a slap across the face,
it's like pretending you understood me.
It's being told I'm not good enough for you.

Why must you constantly compare me,
to what you wish I could grow up and be?
Why must you ask why I'm not like her,
instead of helping me become secure?
Why must you tell me what I should do,
when I'm trying my best to live up to you?
Just thought I'd dedicate yet another poem to my *beloved* mother. I tried to change the style up on this one midway through the poem and I'm not sure I like it... oh well.
