Woman Child

I am a girl who loves learning but felt robbed of a wonderful mystery when I found out what stars really are.

 

I am a girl who is proud of her parents for getting a divorce.

 

I am a girl who likes plain food and plain clothes but drastically alters her hairstyles a few times each year.

 

I am a girl who loves cleaning but refuses to straighten up her bedroom until it becomes an absolutely necessary.

 

I am a girl who won’t spend $5 on something I need but will easily spend $20 on gifts that others might want.

 

I am a girl who believes that most people are basically good, but still find a majority of those to be quite annoying.

 

I am a girl who spent years searching for her spiritual self but now won’t discuss my beliefs with most people.

 

I am a girl who feels like a woman-child even at 23 years of age.

 

I am a girl who is about to become a mother.  It will be up to me to guide and nurture a unique individual and help her have the best life I can possibly give her.  I can already tell that she’s a special one.  I can feel it. 

 

Trust me.  Mothers know these things.

I love this one! You had me nodding in agreement of some lines and giggling out loud at others. To be so keenly aware and honest with who you are as an individual is a great gift! That last magical line just adds the shine to the golden piece.

Even your comments are lyrical poetry! Thank you so much!

Poetry is what is lost in translation.
