Mum, I have dreams
that I wish would come true.
That doesn't mean I neglect
the ones dreamt by you.
Dad, I have wishes
that I dream at night.
That doesn't mean I feel
that yours aren't worth a fight.
Mum, I know I am difficult
and that I nag and whinge.
But your words are sometimes painful
and often make me cringe.
Dad, I know I am different
and that I prefer being on my own.
But, you always misunderstand, thinking
that I like being alone.
Mum, I am sad
and I always hide my tears
because I am unable to fathom
what is it that I fear.
Dad, I am frightened
of something I don't know.
It mortifies me so much
that I find it hard to show.
I do love you both
and I know I rarely say it
because I feel I'm born in a world
where I shall never fit.
