Poem
Mama I’m growing Up Now 2-17-1985 Mama I’m growing up now, but will you help me for I don’t know how. I want to know what it’s like to be a little older. I want to know the feeling of being somewhat bolder. I want to be able to live my dreams, I need to know if they have any meanings. I have my fears that I do hide, I want to know how to bring them outside. I want to know what it’s like to be living on my own. Living in a house that I can call my own. I’m not really worried of what is yet to be For I am growing up now, I’ll take good care of me. But if the first time I should fail I hope you understand, For I am still yet learning and I need your helping hand. I want to do the things that most kids just won’t do For I myself am different, I want something new. Mama I’m grown up now but without you I would’nt know how. I’ve grown a little bolder and my worlds a little colder Thank you mama for giving me not one but both your shoulders. I’ve faced my fears, I’ve cried my tears I’ve lived with pain for many years. I’ve lived my dreams and found no meaning. I lay alone in my bed at nigh Thinking and wondering with an awful fright I’m thinking of what is yet to be. I wonder if I can raise the rest of me.
