I wrote a poem.

"I try, by Nathanial"

I try
I try with you
But it never really seems to be enough
I work
I work with you
Compromise on every little thing we do
I try
I try and show you how I feel
It just seems like you dony even care
I try
I am trying dailying
Doing anything I can to please you
I try
I do everything that is asked of me
Tell me why it isnt enough
My grades were perfect but I really did fix them
Went from 0s and 40s to 60s and 70s
But there wasnt enough to just stop
I kept going and pushing so maybe youd be proud
But it still just wasnt enough
I turned those 70s into 90s
You just looked at me with disappointment
Said "this is a good grade but it is not perfect"
That right there it really hurt
Because I had put in my most
How is my all still not good enough for you ma?
How tell me how I can be better
I'm doing it all, pushing in everything
Still I'm told I can always do better
"I'm proud of you nate"
Those wre the only words I want to hear
For years I havnt heard those not even after I fought to survive
I pushed and pushed and pushed for you
Still didnt make me feel like I'm enough
Every day you make me feel like a failure
You even told me my all isnt enough..
You were never there but expect me to love you
Let your own 59 year old husband just control you
You sat there and watched
As he kicked me out
Made me fend for myself
Then still tell me even to the day
That you (explicit word) love me?
You never fought for me
You never cared
I was actively tryna kill myself
While you were in the kitchen with your friends just drinking beer
You never noticed
Not until it was too late
By the time you even looked my way
My mental health was already crashed
Worse than your economic state
So dont ask anything if me
I've already put in my all
If you cant accept that then dint call me your son at all..
Dont even cry when I end up like Donald
Because at least if I was like him he'd be proud

OLIVER69 · Answer

I actually felt that. There are certain words and emotions that connected with me, bu there is a few things that didn't connect with me. Both make this poem amazing. Sure it is sad, but there is potential and talent here. i like the work you put into this. You did quite well. < 3
