Blanket of Love

I try so hard
to be the person
you want me to be
I even go as far
as to change myself
I want to make you
proud of me
I need to feel
that blanket of love
to surround me
I hate feeling the coldness
of the hatred wind
which blows at me
I one day I wish
to do something right
and have you
look happily
upon me
and smile
and tell me that
"Girl, you make me proud
to call you my daughter.
You've passed all
my expectations"
I want see the love
in your eyes
I need to feel
that blanket of love
to surround me
wrap myself in it
and dream of the life
which I can fulfill
