Don't!
"Don't be lazy!" They say.
"Don't be useless!" They say.
"Don't be depressed!" They say.
"Don't disappoint us!" They say.
"Don't do this, do that!" They say.
"Don't you dare get bad grades!" They say.
"Don't end up like your brother!" They say.

I'm still waiting for those words, those words I so bad want to hear from you.
I want to hear words like: I'm proud of you, you did wonderful on that test, are you okay?, do you need any help with anything?.
Mom, dad, is it that hard?

Hello Elizabeth...
Yes, for some it really is...
They make dreams and when they don't think they can reach themselves...
They pass it on to live vicariously through their children...
Only when we ask if reaching our dreams would be their disappointment?
Which doesn't usually go over too well...
That's when we ask...
They may get angry...
It's hard to stay quiet...
But, we know we must just listen and don't say a word...
When they're finished we say ok...
Then we walk away...
We have to do it their way for awhile...
When it's not our dream to begin with few get there...
Some of the rest of us have to wait...
For something...
Great write!
Thank you for sharing...

Wow I don't have any words I mean it's so good. And it reached my heart, I'm happy there's someone who gets me. Thank you.
Bye bye
