Transitions


It's all about phases we humans go passed The way we want to find ourselves To define who we are As being the first to go The oldest in my family I set the path my two sisters are destined to follow I've made mistakes But then pressed hard on the brakes To stop hurting others with my intended risks I thought that i had to be the "Pleaser" The puppet my parents ruled over And the daughter who suppose to be absolute I endured the chains I set their fantasy No amount of time was ever happy I realized that giving in wasn't a solution Neither was giving them the satisfaction What do i do? Rebel? I did. I rebel-ed. It made "it" better. "It" being my perspective. I shared life through my lens to the creators. I told them i had rights. I yelled till i fell to my knees. I fought my battle. The battle of being my own person Letting me become reborn. They understood but took it a different direction They abandoned the support i needed And left me to mature immensely Now, i'm a lady struggling To go and stretch my education further Finding the one factor to succeed Thank you mother and father Thank you for letting me do things on my own This is what i needed but... I wish i had the funds I wish i wouldn't worry as much I wish i had done the kill before the hunt Because you forgave me If still you help me through The sinkholes and confusion of the world You. Both of you are my motivation. To transition Into the beautiful young woman i will be So i say to others Not to regret Not to give in Use the remote control And go milestone by milestone than skipping the rocks to get something that isn't.
