I close my eyes to the tears inside
And wait for them to, again, resign.
I look at myself, only in vain
Because I only bring people pain.
I've been, more than once told
To respect young and old.
Repitition, you'd think, would learn me
But my head screams, "Enough, its hurting!"
I'm in conflict with my heart and my head
And now I feel I'm better off dead.

The author's comments:
I'm always saying I'll do what I'm told and I hardly ever do. Its a bad habbit. But yesterday, my mom said "I can't expect anything from you anymore." and that broke my heart. After I read this poem to myself, seeing if I should edit it, I saw a bit of my best friend's voice in it.
