  • I wrote this poem when I was feeling sad and angry whenever I was compared to someone else. Jealousy is terrible, but it's a common thing that stirs up in all of us at some point.

    I try my best to be a good daughter but still my mother compares me to the other girls. It feels like I'll never be enough.

      Same... I even clean the house first in the morning when they're not at home... but they've never appreciate what I've done and they go on saying you should have done more or they even bully me making noises like bad kids in school... always being compared to kids who study in medical departments while I was sent to music courses since I was 6... I'm tired of being pushed trough thing Im not ready for and being compared with others. Now I don't even want to sit with them and eat. I get into my room to avoid them annoying me by their words or to avoid any argument. I'm really depressed. Nothing makes me mind that tired except their words which makes me feel Im absolute useless... I even helo my mother with money when she needs to by something and doesn't have enough money at that moment... I don't get it and I'm tired and lost my confidence... I've always been shy and calm and not that confident and they make it worse.

      Same. My mother compares me with my classmate:
      "Why can't you help me like her?"
      "Why can't you read like her?"
      It feels like I'm not her child anymore. But I think that my friend is a better daugter than I will ever be.

But please ... please don’t ever say that you want to die ever please and yes there were times that I felt that mostly everyday not wanting to live anymore because I started to compare myself to every single person I see as of I wasn’t good enough to become something or someone!!! But, please ... keep fighting the big fight, it’s just a constant fight in our minds to embrace our flaws to turn into something beautiful!!!!! God bless you !!!!! ⭐️🕊

    Sometimes..
    People hurt us and say we did wrong.
    We start thinking about the words they use.
    About what they say.
    And feel not good enough.
    And feel useless
    Worthless
    A mess
    Ugly.
    The most hurtful word (to me) ugly..
    I've heard it for so long
    I can't even love myself anymore.
    Ahh.
    I miss the old days when nobody was hurting us and tears weren't normal to us,when there was joy,happiness,and smiles.

    I love Mum so much but she always compares me to other girls no matter how hard I try to do enough. it's always not enough. I've told her once that she were hurting me and putting me down by doing so and that compliment was better than nagging but nothing changed. When I was just 17 years old, I already mastered four languages. I speak French, Spanish, Arabic and ofc English fluently and have been studying Korean for about four years now. I do amazing paintings. I write poems and stories not only in English. I play guitar and write songs. I do photography and have many more talents. I'm not showing off guys but just so you know, Mum keeps comparing me to other girls who don't have half what I do just because I'm an introvert, weirdo who wears baggy jumpers and loves to hide in my room and don't know how to have fun like other girls, or do make up like them or to spend my money on clothes and silly stuff rather than books and painting tools. I feel now like everything I do is not enough. never have been enough. When I like someone, the thought of not being enough for them strikes me immediately. I've been diagnosed with depression like a month ago. You know how terrible it is. I haven't told Mum though, nor did she notice because I've always been that introvert. I am not looking for a lost love, a dream job, or a miracle. Some appreciation from mama would be so nice. Thank you so much for your poem. it really hit home. :")

It hurts me a lot and when I ask them to stop doing it, they just laugh it off and tell me I'm lucky to have a twin.

    I know that children are individuals? But I dont know what they may like to do? Theres never a comparison just the suggestion from someone who doesn't know you yet, and what you like to do? So please dont be quick to judge me? I only wants what's best for You! The stranger in a strange land, or as if I where there ,I'd need your help, ? Things are different, here ,and there only suggestion, not comparing,
    My kids had there faults but as an adult and there father they had my guides, and not pushy ! So give me a chance, and the respect as a adult or parent, and I will help you to grow into a fine and respected adult , in a strange land you may not know about.
    My kids at times had attitudes and let them make there own mistakes . But remember us adults where kids once too, and we screwed up and wish there had been someone there for us. Trial and error, I'm a good dad, but you dont know that stranger in a strange land? Ask you shall receive. Love you who ever you are or want to be, I'm a good guy! Not comparing to other fathers ? I've raised 2 grandkids that are A+ student no comparison! Just fact!! Love you kid s alot the strange parent, in a strange land I know something about. Love you who ever you are ? 💖
