Year Older

With the new year
comes a great queen
layers peeling
now she is Nubian

not so bulky
more respectful
here giggles replaced with smiles
which change the others sulky

how shes grown
they exclaim
more like a star
and she remains thrown

she doesn't know her beauty
places everyone above her
no she is in the front
and now its all confusing

maturity and curves
how can she not notice
what she has
so she begins to write words
