An Imperfect Daughter
Why does he not love me?
What did I do wrong?
I tried to be what he wanted,
I really did try my best.
Guess my best wasn't enough,
not enough to make him love me,
not enough to make him want me.
Never shall I be,
the daughter he expected of me.
Failure stings my heart,
I care and am hurt,
that I will never please him.
Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.
T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
