From my mothers' arm to now I am a woman.
I went through my younger years innocent and with no thought of tomorrow.
As I got closer to becoming a woman I felt how it felt to be hurt by a boy who didn't care in the first place.
I felt the pain of my grandmother leaving this earth to return no more.
I felt the pain of how the first time was not so great unless you are with a person who wants to spend their life with you instead the person just took it away from me.
I went out to the club but not with my parents blessing oh no I snuck out!
I stayed out late even though my mother said there is no good thing out there in the street for a woman after 12 but it went in one ear and out the other.
It seemed like I did everything contrary to what my parents told me to do!
I turned the bottle up to my head cause I enjoyed drinking but found out it don't look good for a woman to be drunk and it was not safe.
So to all my young ladies listen to your mothers they know what they are talking about because now I am a mother and now I have to shield my little girl and hope and pray she makes good choices even when I am not around!
