"Does It Matter?"

Folder: 
Sad

Every day, and every night,

I mess up and I lose this fight.

I try to pry my eye away,

But my mind seems to want to stay.

I've tried so hard to be so good,

Tried to do what I knew I should,

But, still, I know I've let you down,

I see the way you look and frown.

When you think I can't see your face,

And you assume your gloom's erased.

I'm trying so hard to control,

But these reigns are hard to hold.

All I want to do, is try to make you proud,

Look forward to the day, when I can take my bow.

But, I always fail you so...

Mom, do you still love me, though?

Wow, emotional write! It is a horrible feeling when you disappoint a parent. The worst thing in the world for me is to know that I caused disapointment to my parents. This poem flows very well, you did a wonderful job expressing yourself.
Take care and write on!
