NO MORE


A young girl who was unaware of her surroundings

her knowledge, her fears, her desires

What a young girl she was not aware of her strength

her abilities, her future, her endeavors

This young girl was full of so much yet she did not know

This young girl felt so empty

but no more

Young girl with a single mother relinguished of an abusive stepfather

grew of understanding

Understanding that her mother could not do it alone...survive

Understanding that her mother needed to be revived

Understanding that able mind meant able body...somebody must help

The pain and confusion upon her heart could 

be no more

Young girl must search until accepted by one

One where she meets the

criteria and qualifications and expectations

How might she meet those when she can not meet her own wishes

Young girl this is for your mother

No more is it just about you babygirl

Go, go, keep going, do not stop, must not stop

While she has a long road ahead

It may feel like no one is in your corner

Maybe because there is no one...not a single one

But explore beyond your limit

This is just a checkpoint

There is more
