Not a Little Girl Anymore

by Jami Grabowsky   Apr 5, 2006


I walk on the ground
With the earth
Beneath my feet
All that could harm,
I now can see.
No longer are you
There to pamper me
And I'm now
Alone wondering who to be.

As a child, all I knew
Was to pretend
But now I'm stuck
Between
The beginning
And the end
I find myself standing
Alone trying to sort my thoughts
Being suffocated by
Worry and fear and when
I look, no one is near.

I look down the road
That I'm about to follow
Though my view
Is foggy, what I see is hard
To swallow. If I fall, I fall
On my own
And how I'll get up
Is to me unknown.

I have for so long
Been oblivious
To this fact and been
Trying to hide
From the world
And now I'm forced
To face the world
Because I'm not a little girl anymore.
