Night To Day a Girl Into a Woman

Dear dairy,
Last night I fell asleep..
As a child,
And today I awoke..
As a woman,
No longer do I have to..
Live by the rules of others,
I am an independent individual..
Who can do as I please,
There’s no more..
My way.. My restrictions.. Or get out,
I’m finally out on my own..
The world should definitely be on alert,
Because now that I’m free..
I’m about to take this place by storm,
For so long..
I’ve been waiting for this day to come,
And now that it has..
My childhood can be put to past,
Because now..
I am a woman
