who should i be?

Jane-Doe

who did you want me to be? 

was i suppose to be a perfect daughter?

did i not love you enough?

did i not cry every night for you to love me? 

but at the same time did you try to understand me?

i think not.

to you i remain a mystery

a face without a name.

a daughter with no family.

a person without a past.

what some call a jane doe.

    Welcome JANE ~ Thanks for your first poem ~ OK. It is well spaced but it is a sad tale ! When we are growing up we all have differences with our Parents (I'm single and in my early thirties) Most of these differences can be resolved but yours seem more serious. MPS is a very empathetic site ~ you will find friends and get support. Thanks for sharing ~ Your BRIAN (UK)

    Welcome to MPS, J-D!
    I don't know if your poem is aimed at a father or a mother, or maybe both. As the father of a wonderful daughter I can only say that she never was a 'face without name', or a 'person without a past', but she was a 'mystery' as I think all women are to men.
    Your writing is very good, straight from the heart and emotional. If this is not from your imagination (all good writers can make imagination sound real), but actually is happening to you, I do feel for you. Sometimes, being ignored is worse than being yelled at. In that case writing might help. So please keep on writing, would like to read more from you.
