GROWUP

Like a small seed beginning to sprout from the soil
A story of many chapters begins
The plot of a life's story cannot spoil
As the small, naive child widely grins
Wondering where can I start but What beginning is better than from the heart For over a decade, everything was fine No complaints, was living life, disregarding time Growing up in the projects never made a difference to me Because love from my mo
This girl This girl did not grow up alone She lived in a home With 5 girls and one boy And a mom and dad who was like a stone This girl This girl has a heartA heart that beats for music and fashion An everlasting passion that she thought could ne
The day I almost took a life.
It was July 27th around 7:30 p.m.
It was a very rainy night
My boyfriend and I were coming back from a Chase bank.
In my youth, I only care for popularity,
forgetting how to show sincerity.
Friendships, real or fake
that's all I wanted to make.
My mom became my foe,
always insisting me to grow.
I am not a pink bloom
With its free-spirited nature
Nor am I the alluring red
I am a white rose
Many have made attempts
To inject me with dye
And while it took for a while
Here is your flower, you only get one
You’ll come to see its precious by the time I am done
It is something many will try to take, but your grip you cannot break
One day after practice, he walks me home,
"Hey, I have something to tell you." The love of my life says.
That second, world spinning, tears running, mouth opening without sound.
One day you're at in high school living at home all with a huge smile
The next day you're out in the world thinking the cluelessness will only last a while
You have no idea what it is you'd like to do or who you want to be
From converse to heels
That's when I knew
That maybe, just maybe
I'm older… that's new!
I'm learning to walk in a much different way
Growing up seemed fun to me,
Until I no longer fit on dad's knee.
Counting how many years I had left of school,
Knowing it's my learning tool.
One day I no longer had,
All my friends, just my dad.
These changes keep coming
life is not the same
as is once used to be
back when I ran and played.
Now I've got chores to do
and I have to decide
what career to pursue
Got a baby on the way
20 years ago
Almost to the day
So excited at that moment
There's nothing I would trade
Well we know it's hard to believe
that just a few years ago we were naive.
You told us we would grow up
and we asked you to remember us while we were small.
You taught and shaped who we are
When I was a little girl, the world couldn't contain my imagination.
I was the one who would look at the moon and wonder what it would look like, how brightly it would shine, if it was twice as big.
It's true to say,
Every girl has flaws,
And it's true that its displayed
Every guy has been clawed.
But ones for sure,
For me it's a personal tour.
I can say that I've loved
Looking at me, you see how hard I try, how hard I push
let me tell you why, I'm not beating around the bush
Sit down and shut up, keep your remarks and comments till the end
Nobody grows up anymore
They get caught up in disappointments
Stuck in broken promises
Rejected by scenes of what used to be.
