DAMNED IF I DO, DAMNED IF I DON'T
A poem of what my life has been like.
All my life

I've tried to please other people.

I have now figured out

That I can only

Please myself.

My in-laws think that

I am totally inept as a parent.

They would be glad

If I gave up my rights.

No matter what I do

Regarding my son,

My in-laws make it

Look like abuse and neglect.

They scrutinize every

DAMN move I make

Where my son

is concerned.

They threw a fit

When my son went

Off to church camp

For the first time.

What happens

When my son

Starts dating?

Will they expect

Him to have a

DAMN chauffer?!

How do I get over

This feeling that

I will never do right

Where my son

Is concerned?
