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.

It seems for the future I am prepared,
but the thought of commitment is getting me scared.
These feelings I feel, they're different, they're new...
being loved and adored is the reason my confidence grew.

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.
You make me feel empty
You make me feel sad
You make me feel like I have lost everything I had
...
I can relate. I'm a 14-year-old boy who just wants to hang out with his friends and sometimes by myself. I have good grades, and people say I'm a good, well-rounded boy, but I'm growing up....

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.....
There once was a little girl.
She was sweet, and in dresses she liked to twirl.
Everywhere she went,
She left her footprint.
I'm going through a hard time.
I sit in my room most of time.
I throw things around.
Just to calm me down....

Which life shall I follow?
What path should I take?
Should I go left or right?
And make the same mistakes....
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.
See me cry
See the truth behind the lies
See me smile, see me laugh
See the flashbacks of my past...
My daughter turned 13 on Jan 13 2013, same age as Katilyn, what an amazing poem she wrote. My daughter has autism and her life is music and I hope one day she can write a poem on why music is...
Myself:
For those of you who think you can't be yourself.... YOU CAN!!!!
Ignore popularity! If your friends really like you then they will accept the real you....
I just moved and I used...
