Grown Up

I was a ghost in your eyes someone to forget someone to leave behind someone to abort from your life someone to hurt someone to lie... I was a child in my eyes someone to love someone to like someone who needed you at night someone who deserved to be alive... I was just a number to this world someone to train someone to mold someone to break someone to fold someone who could make them gain more gold... I was a girl in my heart full of questions soft and smart walking alone falling apart solely owner of my art... Now I'm the mother now I'm the adult learning from mistakes going strong filling up my pockets with what I couldn't get before no needing to explain myself anymore. Jessica
