When I was 14


When I was 14, I already knew I wanted to be an Astronomer. 

When I was 14, I already had gone through heartbreaks. 

When I was 14, I decided to leave boys behind and

focus on my upcoming regents. 

 

But as I turn 15, I am becoming more of a woman 

I'm learning that boys should come into your life to make it

better, not to tear it apart.  

 

As I still am 14, I'm learning that being social is not all to life. 

Talking to many boys is not entertaining.  

And having the desire to be with someone is only a distraction.  

  

I get asked if I’ve kissed a boy and I say yes. 

They’ve asked if I’ve tongued down a boy and I say no.  

They say I'm still a little girl because I haven't.  

 

Truth is that it's better to wait to kiss a boy who you know won't leave you easily 

Than kiss a boy that after that kiss will go to another. 

Girls nowadays don't seem to understand the meaning of a kiss, a hug, emotions. 

They ask boys to stop being with other girls but they keep talking to other boys.  

 

As I turn 15, I would like to experience being with that boy that is  

Perfectly made for me and not fit for every girl he sees. 

I would like to be with someone who is with me  

To help me grow and make himself grow into a man
