Approval- Poem I wrote

[Polly_Princess]

Approval​

Approval is my water.
Obedience is my bread.
All that I now want to say,
Ends up left unsaid.

Because I know no other way,
Because I'm your showpony,
Because you will not let me stray,
I've become a phony.

The puppet of your broken dreams,
The doll you try to mould.
I will do you thing, it seems,
while my story's left untold.

The fleet of my contemporaries
Enjoy their misspent youth,
But if I dared to do the same,
I'd be told I was uncouth.

I know just who I ought to be,
because you told me so.
But is that really, truly me?
That's what I want to know.

Very good! I wish I could write like that to be able to get my feelings out in a poem.

Nicely done. Guessing it's about parents... Most parents just want the best for their children usually, but many can't communicate effectively or just acknowledge that sometimes their children also have their own minds.
