Sanction by Courtney WagnerWhy is it that when I heard those words i began to shed tears?
To hear "I'm proud of you," brougth a soft voice come whispering in my ears.
How is it that those words have become sacred?
That when I hear then my eyes turn red.
Have I done so badly that my good deeds go unnoticed?
That in her eyes my results are unfocused.
I work so hard to get her approval.
That she would think so quickly as to a temporary removal.
She's so quick in turning her back.
And so quick to attack.
What can I do to make her proud?
Do I have to stand on a mountain and scream out loud? 05/30/2011 Author's Note: The person that told me they were proud was my boyfriend the one I don't hear it from is my mother.
