A Woman
And I'm a writer
build most of my pieces off of experience or imaginary life...
what I wish or what
has no chances..
my leap of faith
in every step I take
is where my motivation
strives from
Sometimes I'm nervous
Scared of the present
Because I'm a woman
Growing up in the times
Where it's time for us to shine
And through the struggles
That we go through
We're just trynna
Get it right
But it's all wrong
Because I am a woman
Need to present my self a certain way
But that way isn't okay
When we could never get a break
Every second of the day
As if life's just getting closer
In a blink of an eye
And I'm only getting older
My legs are getting broader
And my breast are shaping up more
In the future I wanna be ready
But I'm nervous
Yesterday I overcame
But I'm struggling with today
Questioning everything
But don't believe in anything
A woman
From when we make our first break
The cramps in our stomachs
To the bumps on our face
We stop believing that we are pretty
Because of what social media thinks we should be
How we should look
What we should wear
A woman
Getting older
And losing control
Our minds are working
But we stopped thinking
We are told actions speak
Louder than words
So we are moving
Boys come in the picture
Getting fixtures
They don't love you baby girl
But your getting naked
A woman
Open and vulnerable
It was her first time so
She's hurting crying out
Silent cause her momma can't know
Now she's alone
The guy she was with
Got what he wanted and dipped
The fear of baring a child couldn't
Even compare to the fear of mama's wrath
And she's scared
A woman fully grown with lack of
Self control so no longer a woman
But instead a little girl
The pressure is intense
But you learn in the end
That you are your own
Take a leader role
Every thing that glitters isn't gold
Mysteries untold
A woman
You aren't one yet but
That's where you are heading
Strong and gifted
You won't give up
Or show regret
Bold
The list will go on
And for sure
There are times
You feel you wanna
break down and cry
We Live in a world
Where it's okay
To think expectations
Are found in others
But no its found in yourself
What do you expect to accomplish
What are your expecting capabilities
Forget anyone else
You are a woman
Deep down inside
Just give it some time
Life will fly by
But you're gonna shine
As a woman
