What Did I do??
Disappointed in me
You were
Confused
I was
What did I do wrong again?
Cannot I act?
Cannot I be
Myself?
What was wrong with being Me?
With talking the way I usually talk?
Confused
Confused
My heart beats
Confused
Can'st thou accept me as I am?
Silent
Disapproving
Your eyes watched my every move
Every gesture
Hearing all
But naught registers
Till I try to make you laugh
Make you happy.
You Snap.
Not so silent now.
Stung by your words
I fruitlessly try
to defend myself
Ashamed
Disappointed
You never want to hear me say those words again
in that accent.
Why?
Why?
WHY?
Accident!
Purely accident; Had I known
I would not have said that
and unknowingly angered you.
But too late now
You disapprove of me.
Frowning, scowling, erupting
at your defenceless kin
your daughter.
