Today I woke up and realized
The world wasn't a warm
fuzzy place
I discovered my dreams
wouldn't come to me
They were something
I'd have to chase
I learned that love
wasn't easy
It was something I would
have to
achieve
At one minute love could
fill me with happiness
And at the next it could
make me bleed
I learned that at times
a friend
Could really be a foe
And I learned my loss
of innocence
Would eventually help
me to grow
I learned that the loss
of a love
Would make me unwilling
to another
And I learned instead
of loving
People would rather
hurt eachother
I learned that one morbid
day
I won't have a mother
to sob to
Someone who I can tell
my troubles
And everything that
I have gone through
And my daddy won't be
there to hold me
When i'm too scared
to face the world
Today I became a woman
And shed the life of
a girl
