My Future
They want me to be prepared
For the future that is near,
But the truth is I am scared
Because mine is unclear.
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.
They want me to be prepared
For the future that is near,
But the truth is I am scared
Because mine is unclear.

I'm going through a hard time.
I sit in my room most of time.
I throw things around.
Just to calm me down....
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.

Do you ever stop and think?
Just reflect on everything that's happened to you
in the last few days,
months.
I love this poem. It's totally relatable. It really outlines the questions that have been stirring my mind lately. It turns out that you get to decide what growing up means to you. You don't...
See me cry
See the truth behind the lies
See me smile, see me laugh
See the flashbacks of my past
It touched me by the way the author wrote it. He states in the last line "see me be shocked" and what touched me was in the poem that the girl was angry at the parent because the parent left....
