Analysis of The distressed daughter



Parents are a major part of the family,
Where father's the most manly..
And where children are taught sanity,
While the mother's often proved to be the most rightly.

Despite all the goodness,
Sadly, our family's a mess..
Where the father has no time,
And the mother's always struggling to chime.
Where the child is haunted by
monsters of loneliness and
forced to cry out silent tears.

Sadly, the mother does not
understand her daughter and
the father is always busy on the internet.
She needs to be councelled,
She craves for happiness..
She wants to confess-
All her mistakes, all her sins,
To someone who won't be much judging.

She's just dying from inside;
All her hopes and strength fading away..
She wants good times to abide,
But she chooses not to say-
Her feelings out to anyone,
But just wants to run, run and run.

She has decided not to allow anyone
To anything about her;
However intensely anyone pampers,
She just wants to sit in the darkest corner
And peacefully rest in solitude.

She wants to cry and cry and cry,
Until she's almost going to die..
She's always wanted to fly,
Like birds in the sky.
Doesn't matter low or high,
She just wants to fly, fly and fly.
