Dear Mom:
I love you, so much. But sometimes, you just don't get it. I
know you may think you "know me." But honestly, nobody in
our family does. I keep to myself all the time, I write poetry, I
cry a lot, I have anger issues at times, I need to vent a lot (but
don't). There's so much you DON'T know about me..I
think if I showed my true self, you wouldn't believe me. I
express myself in odd ways. Dying hair, wanting piercings, dressing
different. NO, thank you very much, I am NOT going Goth or emo.
Black hair, nose/ belly button piercings. Heck yes. I can't
wait. (: But mom, I do wish you knew the real me. I wish I was more
comfortable talking to you, telling you what goes on in my life.
Yeah, I have had boyfriends before; you don't know that.
I've also had my heart broken a couple times; you don't
know that. You may know of some friendship problems of mine, but
you don't know how I am really feeling. Mom, I wish you were
there to comfort me more. I wish you were more understanding..
I'll keep wishing til the day I move out. Mom I love you, a
lot. But you don't know me, so please don't pretend you
do.
Sincerely,
Your daughter [(who doesn't even know
herself)
