16 Looking Back At 15
16 looking back at 15
Looking into a glass staring back at me, my eyes, my lips, and my face beautiful I see. Yet
different staring back at me.
Conscious of the events that got me here, discipline, go Getta staring back at me. Sixteen
years but yet I see when I was 4, 5, and then three.
Courageous yet scared of the life I’m trying to make. Picking up mistakes that were part of
my fate.
I look back College bound I see. I need to get focused, for the years keep leaving me.
Educated sista, Lonely but not alone. Letting friends from my past wonder on their own.
Who is this young women I see fifteen left behind on the 10th of July.
That’s me a reflection of last year’s tears staring back at me… See I’m healed from the pain
that has worn down on me.
