Sorry I'm not Tara Beacham

Sorry I'm not Tara Beacham

A Poem by Brittini Ennui

sorry your daughter turned out to be a dud
a scared to try idealist only good at smoking bud
but your son more than made up for it, he's an athletic popular stud
leaving his legacy in awards and trophy's, while she just leaves ash stains on the rug
you told 'em both how they were talented
in fact you were adament
but the girl couldn't balance it
with how she felt about herself
so while your words were nice, they really werent much help
she needed more than sound vibration and pronouciation of constants and vowels
she needed a teacher, someone to mold her
not say
but show her how
so since i'm not "the daughter that you dreamt of"
does that make me the biological manifestation of your nightmares? 
everything you didn't want, all in one, walking around, breathing air. 
you created, carried, nutured and raised a failure
admit it
admit it
admit it
but you can't because that's a reflection you could drown in windex and it wouldn't wipe away.
