NOTE: *************
This is just a fictional poem. The rhyming was hard. It's basically about a girl who can't live up to her mother's expectations. I imagine them living in old Europe when barons and princesses were really popular. I know poems like these set bad stereotypes for moms, but you should know I love my mom and she's awesome!

elegant dress
beautiful shoes
you put me to the test
im afraid i will lose
all these expectations
they overwhelm
you are so impatient
but this is your realm
this night is endless
oh you know i will fail
you seem so heartless
your words feel like hail
hitting my skin
if i am not perfect
it is a sin
outside looking in i seem terrific
but everything i do
is terrible
but it’s because of you
you are unbearable
i cannot be the person
that you picture
nothing can help not even coercion
you think that your words are scripture
you think you are a god
I feel like a servant
i cannot even sob
you expect a princess from this maidservant
but the truth is
you are a terrible mother
and I will never be
the
perfect
daughter
