Two Kinds by Amy Tan
This piece of literature is basically my life story. I completely understand what Amy Tan went through with her mother, except that in my situation, i conflicted with my father. Amy Tan's firts mistake in the story was striving for perfection, because one will never reach it. You are basically setting yourself up for a disaster. I experienced this first hand. This story literally sent chills down my spine because i went through every emotion that she went through. The scene in the story that gripped me the most was the part when she looked at herself in the mirror and cried in agony because she was pleasing her mother and she couldnt find the prodigy within herself. I did the exact same thing. I cant believe how this story and my life coincided with each other. I am still in shock. This story just let me know that there are other people who have gone through this. I am looking forward to discussing this story. I have a lot to say about it.

Pressure
Pile it all on my back.
Add weight to my shoulders.
I start to sweat.
My knees buckle.
My bones break.
Add weight to my shoulders.
I start to sweat.
My knees buckle.
My bones break.
As Life Fades
Immersed in a blinding white light,
In the blink of an eye,
Am I content with what I have done in my life?
In the blink of an eye,
Am I content with what I have done in my life?
Unforgiving Tide
Chain me to an anchor,
Toss me into the sea.
Straight to the floor.
No choice but to sink.
You smile wide
As you watch me drown.
This unforgiving tide
will make sure I am never found.
Its now or never.
My time to rise.
I'll shine forever.
Lighten the darkness from your eyes.
My body might be broken.
You may feel like you have won.
Remember these words I have spoken.
My spirit will live on.
I lay here in my watery grave,
And let the sea water fill my lungs.
I would rather die than be your slave.
I will rise like the morning sun.
Not even death can conquer me,
No matter how hard you try.
My soul will be set free.
I will haunt you for the remainder of your life.
Toss me into the sea.
Straight to the floor.
No choice but to sink.
You smile wide
As you watch me drown.
This unforgiving tide
will make sure I am never found.
Its now or never.
My time to rise.
I'll shine forever.
Lighten the darkness from your eyes.
My body might be broken.
You may feel like you have won.
Remember these words I have spoken.
My spirit will live on.
I lay here in my watery grave,
And let the sea water fill my lungs.
I would rather die than be your slave.
I will rise like the morning sun.
Not even death can conquer me,
No matter how hard you try.
My soul will be set free.
I will haunt you for the remainder of your life.
