I have tried to avoid all the drama that comes with having you around. I have taken all the nagging, the slander, defaming, false acccusations, intimidations. Nothing I do is ever good enough. My hair is too wild, I am too fat, I am not the straight A student,....*nagging*nagging*nagging, thats all i ever get from you. I am constantly reminded of what you want me to be, constantly pressurised to be your own definition of a "Model Child" A child with no ambitions of her own, whose life is a mirror image of your desires. A child with no voice of her own, who does as she is told, when she is told, how she is told. A child who must wear a fake smile at all times. A child who must make perfect grades and get married to a doctor from a stable and wealthy family.
But,
I BEG to be different. I choose to laugh and smile when I am happy and frown when I am hurt or sad. I choose to have my own voice, to make my own choice, to learn from my own mistakes.
I PLEAD to be my own person, to be respected, and for my my opinions to be acknowledged. I want to choose the right man for me. Be he vagabond or rogue, prince or pauper or even a broke ass aspiring poet or a boy who treats me like a gem, who loves me like I love him.
So yes! I plead for the right to bleed when I am cut, to cry when I am hurt, to be my own woman and be the best I can be , by simply just being ME!
