Please read this poem?

I'm feeling very alone right now, and when I do, I post poetry on how I'm feeling right now. Please read this. I'm raised under authoritarian parenting. If you don't know what that is, please look it up and become aware of it. Please don't raise your children under it. I promise you, it isn't the way kids should be raised. The first two lines of the last stanza is an actual statistic.

"Set in Stone"

I have eyes, my vision isn't mine

A mouth without a voice

A mind but no control of it

A will without a choice

No parties and no sleep overs

Just studying and tests

No real friends to call my own

Not ever a good night’s rest

This life is mine, but it isn’t

My path is set in stone

My career is padlocked tight

I’m not allowed to roam

Asian women, 15-24

Suicide: it is a risk

You don’t know or care to know

I’m becoming a statistic

Thank you.

    The way you answered my problem seems like you are having the same situation. When they say "You're parents are doing what's best for you," I reply by saying "Well, I think I know what's best for me and who knows me better than myself?" But that was a very sentimental poetry, conveying messages that some kids are having trouble escaping.
