Every family has hopes and aspirations for their children. Some may long to send their children to college if the parents have not had that opportunity. Others may aspire for a better life in another country. Sometimes there are conflicts between the dreams of the parents and the dreams of their children. Parents may have labored so that their children could have what they consider a better life only to have their children choose other options. This can be heartbreaking for the parents who may think that they have labored in vain, and stressful for the children who have their own dream to live out.

Together we wrote our stories.
Together we sang our songs.
But now it's all gone.
They want me to be prepared
For the future that is near,
But the truth is I am scared
Because mine is unclear.

I've grown up, I'm not your perfect little girl anymore.
Bottled up inside are the things I never said,
The lines you never read,
The voices in my head I can't keep quiet.

I'm getting older now,
No longer a child,
Not yet an adult,
But a girl trying to carve a path for herself
Wow, this poem is amazing! Growing up can be very scary and unpredictable, but it has to be done. I think the unknown of it makes it so beautiful.
I am growing up, Daddy
Don't you see?
You gotta let me go
Let me spread my wings...
This is so cute and I wish I could tell me dad this.............. keep writing poetry sweetie <3 you are on your way.....
Which life shall I follow?
What path should I take?
Should I go left or right?
And make the same mistakes....
I'm going through a hard time.
I sit in my room most of time.
I throw things around.
Just to calm me down....
