When I Realized I Grew Up

They say after graduation, adulthood hits you, But I still yet feel the same, Even when I threw my cap in blue, Also when they called my name, It wasn't until my dad found out about my relationship, And I was put to shame, I lost their respect, I lost my dignity, They don't want me to go to college,  So I have nothing no money to carry with me.  I knew I became an adult when I started packing my things, When I was going to make my own decision to go to college, No mentally abusive parent was going to keep me from being, A woman of knowledge.
