Whatever I do, <br />You find faults. <br /> <br />Never in my life <br />Have I done <br />One right thing. <br />You think so <br /> <br />Nothing I do ever <br />Satisfies your eyes <br />That scrutinizes me <br />24 hours in 7 days. <br /> <br />I am despicable <br />To you for reasons <br />Unknown to me. <br /> <br />You call me obstinate <br />When all I do is <br />Stand firm on what <br />I believe in. <br /> <br />I’d rather call <br />That persistence <br />And not obstinacy. <br /> <br />You loath me and <br />The very sight of me <br />Tears you apart. <br /> <br />You gnash your teeth <br />When I just walk in. <br /> <br />You stare at me <br />With enough fire of hatred <br />To burn me to ashes. <br /> <br />But this I always <br />Wanted to ask you. <br /> <br />What am I to do <br />To soften you <br />Towards this little girl? <br /> <br />What is it that <br />I have to do to <br />Make you not <br />Hate me this way? <br /> <br />I don’t want you to <br />Love me as yours. <br /> <br />But please cease <br />Seeing me as the most <br />Hateful of all creations. <br /> <br />It wouldn’t hurt <br />If you ignored me <br />And was not bent on <br />Seeing my utter destruction.<br /><br />Emily Angel<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/what-am-i-to-do-10/
