Grown Up
I take every situation
And learn from it
No more tears, insecure fears
I’m a grown woman
Internally I’m spared
As I inwardly look in
No longer seeking
What outside forces took when
I was that gullible misguided girl
Confused by the ill wills of the world
Gave of myself freely
Expecting nothing in return
Through time burned
The very fabric of my being
Showed me one becomes
What they speak into existence
My eyes were closed so I couldn’t bare witness
Thought to myself: I’m not built for this
Was the myth I spoke and surely became
Spoke only of negatives
So from positive I was refrained
My soul was stained
Emitting an unhealthy mind frame
Sorrow, Uncertainty and Pain
Comforted me in all aspects
Because I called their name
As I look back
I FEEL NO SHAME
As I learned from myself
Through experience
WHAT I'LL NEVER BE
AGAIN
