From a child to a woman

by Ashley   Jun 19, 2004


Have you ever had the week
where everything only seems to go downhill?

so you try and search around for someone to let your emotions spill

and you come to the conclusion that you have nothing left for you.

you decide to call everything quits
because you have nothing more to prove.

nothing seems like enough
everyone keeps wanting more
and people keep tearing you apart
they make you want to get out and head to the door

then your family, takes all the things you want
leaving you with a heart full of ache
you can only stare at a blank wall, repeating to yourself time an time again \\\"lord just take me for heavens sake\\\"

everyone seems to think you are okay.
but it\\\'s all just one fake disguise
and the people who are suppose to gbe there for you only make you full of despise

now why can\\\'t anyone see past peoples lies
and realize that there is much more underneath
there is a young woman who needs her freedom, her own space to breathe.

and once having a heart of love,
has grown cold to a heart of hate
who is there left to turn to now?
everyone made her feel so low,
now who is the one on top?
could this be really be it?
could this be the time when she finally gives up?

the people she once went to for shelter and support,
only give their regards and wishes of good luck.
no one must be looking at the bigger picture.
all the emotions an turmoil boiling into one stressful mixture.

poor little woman she is about to reach her point.
nothing is left to be done, and as she gets on her knees she begins to pray to the Lord.

\\\"Lord give me the guidance,and show the way through this, and be aware that there is no one I purposely meant to disappoint.\\\"

And she puts her head down, tears streaming down her pale tired face.
wondering what was done that was so wrong, and why she is looked down upon as a disgrace.

thinking to herself, \\\'if the hands of time could be turned back, she wouldn\\\'t do it because for each event is just another lesson in life.
an with that she rendered the thought that all the efforts she puts into the situations.
will all pay off in the end.

but then why is all this worth it? why is she causing all this commotion and having a fit?
Only because she\\\'s needing her space and time.
So she can realize what life is, and she isn\\\'t going to wait for any special sign.

She is going to get out and experience her life.
and slowly but surely take care of all her strife.

but no one wants to face that she is slowly growing to adulthood.
and at times things might not go so good.

but she\\\'s only wanting people to be more open to her emotions.
and not to get angry but to keep their own emotions under control
everyone too must grow with her, and she needs the support as she takes this long stroll.
