Poem
I was once a little girl One who looked at the world As a place filled with hopes and dreams But this wasn't for long, as life has that way of throwing those screams Right when you weren't asking for them I was once a little girl Who took everything for granted I had nothing to be thankful for, nothing to truly appreciate, I realize now how stupid I was, for it is the things that I took for granted that suddenly vanished I was once a little girl Who looked up to her parents, who thought that they could do everything for me But that too, I realized, was not true Because in the end, even parents have their limits, there was no hope that they could always let me be I was once a little girl Who wanted to be like her mother But now I realize how stupid I was Because sometimes our loved ones are the ones that teach us lessons we can use to hurt others Not help, but hurt. I was once a little girl, Who thought that my family could do it all Who thought there was no one better than them Thought they could catch me from my every fall But now I realize how different reality is From those fantasies that I made up I was once a little girl, Who thought my parents would care for me, would stay with me, forever I now realize how stupid I was Because my parents, weren't there to stay, They were there to give me a small push But they didn't stay They left me to find my own path In a place, called life I once was a little girl, Who thought that my parents would believe in me But that too, was not reality Sure, they cared about everything except my life and well being They cared about my studies and my sports, but my truths and secrets I have never revealed. I was once a little girl Who thought that she could tell her parents anything But that too, wasn't true, Because in the end, through punishments from truth and praise from lies, Did I only learn to tell those fake truths Because I didn't want to be hurt I was once a little girl Who thought that friendships were things that were able to carry on through a lifetime, But that wasn't true, They ended one by one, I am no longer that little girl Who mixed up fact with fantasy and fantasy with fact I have seen my parent's dark side Experienced pain Seen my life without things that I had taken for granted.
