Girlhood Poems - Poems about Girlhood

This 30th of November, I can be dragged down by men that I loved. And they feel no guilty I’m caged in maturity. A little girl tugs my fuchsia leg-split “Tear it or tear down”. Fear of getting lost Neverland with a waggish Peter Pan...

In your embrace, I wish to be, Bound by love, yet feeling free. No chains of doubt, just hearts entwined, In your love's garden, I long to find. Your smile, a sunbeam in my day, In your laughter, I want to sway. With every breath, with every beat, In your love, my soul finds its seat. In simple words, I want to say, With...

I fear I'm not enough, A young girl's quiet doubt, In this world so big and tough, I wonder what it's all about. I worry I can't measure up, To expectations high and strong, But I'll keep trying, never give up, Even when things seem so wrong. I'll take small steps, one by one, Learning as I go, you'll see, In the end, I'll find...

There’s a person living in my skull But she once loved life out here She would run around for hours Kicking dust and chasing fear There’s a person who existed Used my body for her games She would laugh and play for hours She’s since seen some better days And sometimes I think I miss her Though I know she’s...

In a little town, where stories flew, Lies and whispers, oh so untrue, People gossip, secrets they betray, Drama's stage, where troubles play. Fingers point, friendships break, Trust gets lost, for goodness' sake, But let's choose kindness, let's be wise, In truth and trust, our spirits rise. In this world of tales and games, We'll shine bright, not play those shames, With honesty and love,...

In shadows of the night, I ponder deep, Why does this emptiness inside me creep? I'm just a girl, lost in this vast sea, Searching for answers to set my soul free. The world whirls by, a chaotic race, But I stand still in this empty space. I wear a smile, but it's just a mask, Hiding the questions I dare not...

In a world that says I must be pretty, I struggle with doubts, it isn't easy. They want me to change, inside and out, But why can't they see what I'm about? I study hard, I do my best, But still, I feel I'm not like the rest. Insecurities fill my mind, Wondering if I'll ever find A way to be just who...

The girl, so young, with dreams so wide, The girl, she laughs, she loves, she cries, The girl, in this world, finds her way, The girl, through life, learns day by day. The girl, with heart, so full of grace, The girl, she'll find her special place, The girl, in time, will bloom and grow, The girl, her spirit, will always glow. The...

While sighs arose from dried marsh and clay, the girl in me embraced an amiable virtue born out of an affinity for our town’s revelries : Oh those bouncy play with cousins when burnt dusk kindly taught me the wisdom of moon’s varied phases, fables, then a soul tamed through older clans’ demise ...

EIGHT A deliberate surprise A shove from the back while creating artwork in my second-grade class Perhaps an ocean scene A distant angry memory of my eight-year-old consciousness The broken waxy blue crayon in my right hand Before me the ripped orange construction paper and a scattered image Girl bully momentarily reigned behind me her face encircled with frantic spirals…. a golden mane My neck flashed heat and then a...

Old lattice of brown vines loosening their grasp from a cracked dwelling- Nearby, I trace sweet girl's years bouncing 'round trees...
