So it's another birthday today,
I look down at my 10 toes
my 10 fingers
I see that my hands, as they once were are not so small,
My feet are several sizes larger as well as other areas..
I'm growing into the woman you want ma,
Almost successful, but not quite there,
I'll be there for ya ma I promise,
You'll see me one day, understanding what you have tried to teach me from the start.
It has taken me a while, and it will continue to take a minute for me to comprehend the morals you are trying to set on me ma
Your little girl isn't as bad as you might think,
I could be worse, I could be running the streets.
Love is such a hard thing to do, with such hate in the way,
but I don't hate ya ma, I love you for making me the strong person that I am, I appreciate it all.
